Theme and Course Description
The engineering industries need NDE
methods with high sensitivity and Reliability with speed of testing at a lower
cost. The NDE has evolved over the years to meet these demands. The NDE equipments have become
smaller, lighter and smarter. The industries with components of complex shapes
and newer materials are facing new challenges to adopt to suitable
NDE methods for their applications.
They also realize that they have to Employ more than one method to suit to
their needs.
In this context, it
becomes necessary that the industrial personnel acquire a Comprehensive
knowledge of the emerging NDE methods with applications and limitation in order
to plan their schedule of inspection during service. Another more important
role of NDE is in monitoring plants and
structures During service and throughout the operational life time of
the plant. Herein, Industries encounter many problems like accessibility in
fabricated and
assembled structures, underground
pipeline etc.
Automatic defect detection algorithms
will help in reducing the human component in inspection plan.
The course is structured to give
extensive information on various emerging NDE methods. The participants will be
provided an analytical approach of Various methods so as to facilitate the use
of these methods in difficult and Problematic situations. Most of the emerging
methods are inherently capable Of providing faster and reliable inspection and
more amenable for automation and the knowledge of the methods will help in
formulating the strategies for the future.
