Course description

  • underlying principles defining why inspection is necessary
  • marine growth/cleaning technique, standards
  • underwater inspection - visual, by diver and ROV. inspection requirements, and planning. flooded member detection
  • NDT - introduction
  • ultrasonics: Properties of sound waves: probe construction: systems A-scan , B-scan, C-scan, arrays and other data display/collection methods; defect sizing; weld inspection
  • eddy currents: principles of eddy current formation; interaction with material inhomogeneities; the impedance plane as a basis of understanding the possibilities of the method; effects of depth of penetration and frequency.
  • radiography: principles of x-ray production. gamma sources; use of both exposure variables; use of IQIs to size defects; safety
  • electrical methods: ACFM and APCD, resistance (ac and dc) measurements
