RadioGraphy Testing Course of NDT

Radiography is used in a very wide range of aplications including medicine, engineering, forensics, security, etc. In NDT, radiography is one of the most important and widely used methods. Radiographic testing (RT) offers a number of advantages over other NDT methods, however, one of its major disadvantages is the health risk associated with the radiation. In general, RT is method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiation (high energy photons) to penetrate various materials. The intensity of the radiation that penetrates and passes through the material is either captured by a radiation sensitive film (Film Radiography) or by a planer array of radiation sensitive sensors (Real-time Radiography). Film radiography is the oldest approach, yet it is still the most widely used in NDT.

Principles of Radiographic Testing


In radiographic testing, the part to be inspected is placed between the radiation source and a piece of radiation sensitive film. The radiation source can either be an Xray machine or a radioactive source . The part will stop some of the radiation where thicker and more dense areas will stop more of the radiation. The radiation that passes through the part will expose the film and forms a shadowgraph of the part. The film darkness (density) will vary with the amount of radiation reaching the film through the test object where darker areas indicate more exposure(higher radiation intensity) and liter areas indicate less exposure (higher radiation intensity).This variation in the image darkness can be used to determine thickness or composition of material and would also reveal the presence of any flaws

Advantages

  • Both surface and internal discontinuities can be detected.
  • Significant variations in composition can be detected.
  • It has a very few material limitations.
  • Can be used for inspecting hidden areas (direct access to surface is not required)
  • Very minimal or no part preparation is required.
  • Permanent test record is obtained.
  • Good portability especially for gamma-ray sources.

Uses

Industrial Radiography inspection is used to detect features of a component or assembly that exhibit a difference in thickness or physical density as compared to surrounding material. Large differences are more easily detected than small ones. In general, radiography can detect only those features that have an appreciable thickness in direction parallel to the radiation beam. This means that the ability of the process to detect planar discontinuities such as cracks depends on proper orientation of the test piece during testing. Discontinuities such as voids and inclusions, which have measurable thickness in all directions, can be detected as long as they are not too small in relation to section thickness. In general, features that exhibit a 2% or more difference in absorption compared to the surrounding material can be detected. Radiography is more effective when the flaws are not planar.

Applicability



Radiographic testing is used extensively on castings and weldments. Radiography is well suited to the testing of semiconductor devices for cracks, broken wires, unsoldered connections, foreign material and misplaced components. Sensitivity of radiography to various types of flaws depends on many factors, including type of material, type of flaw and product form. Both ferrous alloys can be radio graphed, as can non-metallic materials and composites.

Scope of Radiographic Testing Course




Industrial radiographers, also known as industrial radiography radiation safety personnel or industrial radiography testers, use X-ray and gamma ray technologies to test and inspect metals in engineered or manufactured products, pipes, walls and other materials.

Drilling


A drilling rig is a machine that creates holes in the earth sub-surface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill water wells, oil wells, or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and are called augers. Drilling rigs can sample sub-surface mineral deposits, test rock, soil and groundwater physical properties, and also can be used to install sub-surface fabrications, such as underground utilities, instrumentation, tunnels or wells. Drilling rigs can be mobile equipment mounted on trucks, tracks or trailers, or more permanent land or marine-based structures (such as oil platforms, commonly called 'offshore oil rigs' even if they don't contain a drilling rig). The term "rig" therefore generally refers to the complex of equipment that is used to penetrate the surface of the Earth'scrust.
Small to medium-sized drilling rigs are mobile, such as those used in mineral exploration drilling, blast-hole, water wells and environmental investigations. Larger rigs are capable of drilling through thousands of metres of the Earth's crust, using large "mud pumps" to circulate drilling mud (slurry) through the drill bit and up the casing annulus, for cooling and removing the "cuttings" while a well is drilled.
  • Petroleum drilling industry
  • Water well drilling
  • Mining drilling industry
  • Mobile drilling rigs
  • Drilling rig classification
  • Drill types
  • Auger drilling
  • Percussion rotary air blast drilling (RAB)
  • Air core drilling

Duties Of  Drilling Engineers


Drilling engineers are responsible for a range of professional duties. For instance, they must perform cost assessments on prospective oil and gas sites, keep track of the rates of production at drilling sites, communicate with other personnel to resolve any problems that may arise and analyze information related to well placement. Your duties could also include employing computerized drilling technology to connect isolated petroleum deposits with individual wells, ensuring that equipment is properly installed and devising strategies to increase the volume of oil extracted.

Career Path and Specializations


Drilling engineers can find entry-level employment at large multinationals, mid-sized independent companies, specialized operators or consulting firms to gain experience and on-the-job training. After acquiring the necessary licensing, many may then work their way up to project leadership, middle management positions and/or upper management positions. Some engineers even decide to go into business for themselves.
Technological advancements are necessitating that drilling engineers tailor their expertise to certain cutting-edge trends. Engineers may gain expertise in a variety of new developments, such as computerized oil and gas reservoir simulation, seismic drilling techniques, horizontal drilling and offshore oil production.

Carbonation Testing


Carbonation of concrete is associated with the corrosion of steel reinforcement and with shrinkage. However, it also increases both the compressive and tensile strength of concrete, so not all of its effects on concrete are bad.
Carbonation is the result of the dissolution of CO2 in the concrete pore fluid and this reacts with calcium from calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate to form calcite (CaCO3). Aragonite may form in hot conditions.

Within a few hours, or a day or two at most, the surface of fresh concrete will have reacted with CO2 from the air. Gradually, the process penetrates deeper into the concrete at a rate proportional to the square root of time. After a year or so it may typically have reached a depth of perhaps 1 mm for dense concrete of low permeability made with a low water/cement ratio, or up to 5 mm or more for more porous and permeable concrete made using a high water/cement ratio.
Fundamental Principle for Carbonation Testing:
Carbonation of concrete occurs when the carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere in the presence of moisture, reacts with hydrated cement minerals to produce carbonates, e.g. calcium carbonate. The carbonation process is also called depassivation. Carbonation penetrates below the exposed surface of concrete extremely slowly.
Testing for Carbonation:

The affected depth from the concrete surface can be readily shown by the use of phenolphthalein indicator solution. This is available from chemical suppliers. Phenolphthalein is a white or pale yellow crystalline material. For use as an indicator it is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) in a 1% solution.
The phenolphthalein indicator solution is applied to a fresh fracture surface of concrete. If the indicator turns purple, the pH is above 8.6. Where the solution remains colorless, the pH of the concrete is below 8.6, suggesting carbonation. A fully-carbonated paste has a pH of about 8.4.
The phenolphthalein indicator solution is applied to a fresh fracture surface of concrete. If the indicator turns purple, the pH is above 8.6. Where the solution remains colorless, the pH of the concrete is below 8.6, suggesting carbonation. A fully-carbonated paste has a pH of about 8.4.

In practice, a pH of 8.6 may only give a faintly discernible slightly pink color. A strong, immediate, color change to purple suggests a pH that is rather higher, perhaps pH 9 or 10.
Normal concrete pore solution is saturated with calcium hydroxide and also contains sodium and potassium hydroxide; the pH is typically 13-14. Concrete with a pore solution of pH 10-12 is less alkaline than sound concrete but would still produce a strong color change with phenolphthalein indicator. It therefore follows that the indicator test is likely to underestimate the depth to which carbonation has occurred.
Range and Limitation of Carbonation Testing:

The phenolphthalein test is a simple and cheap method of determining the depth of carbonation in concrete and provides information on the risk of reinforcement corrosion taking place. The only limitation is the minor amount of damage done to the concrete surface by drilling or coring

Magnetic Particle Inspection(MT) Courses offered in blitz

Magnetic Particle Inspection is a non-destructive testing(NDT)  process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface  discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron,nickel,cobalt and some of other alloys.
Advantages:
It is quick and relatively uncomplicated
It gives immediate indication of defects
It shows surface and near surface defects, and these are the most  serious ones as they concentrate stresses
The method can be adapted for site or workshop use
It is inexpensive compared to radiography
Large or small objects can be examined
Elaborate pre-cleaning is not necessary
Disadvantages:
It is restricted to ferromagnetic materials
It is messy
Most methods need a supply of electricity
It is sometimes unclear w
hether magnetic field is strong
The method cannot be used  if thick paint coating is present
Applications:
The principal industrial uses of magnetic article testing  are final inspection,receiving inspection ,in process inspection  and quality control ,maintenance and overhaul in transportation industries, plant and machinery maintenance and inspection of large components.
How does Magnetic Particle Inspection Work?

A ferromagnetic test specimen  is magnetized with  a  strong  magnetic field  created by  a magnet or special equipment.if specimen has  discontinuity ,discontinuity will interrupt the flowing through specimen and leakage field will occur.
 Finelly milled  iron particles coated with a dye pigment are applied to test specimen.These particles are  attracted to leakage fields and will cluster to form an indication directly over discontinuity .This indication can be visually detected under proper lighting  conditions.
In conclusion, magnetic particle Testing  can be a useful nondestructive testing during new construction and inservice inspections. It can only be used on ferromagnetic materials; therefore, it is not the best method for all applications. For quick, low-cost inspections, MT is often the best NDE method for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities.

Pile Load Testing

Pile load Test are generally performed either to prove that piles are capable of sustaining the design load or to gain more detailed information that will enable a more efficient design.

PURPOSE OF PILE LOAD TESTING:

  • Confirmation of pile driving depth
  • Confirmation of Vertical bearing capacity of pile.
  • Confirmation of lateral load capacity of the pile.
  • Establishment of driving criteria
  • Confirmation of Pull Out load capacity of pile.

TYPES OF TEST

There are 2 types of test for each type of loading namely the Initial Test
and the Routine Test.

The number of Initial Test may be one or more depending upon the number of
piles required and the importance of structure.The Initial Test shall be
carried out min.2 or 2.5 times the estimated safe load and up to the pile
destruction.Piles used for initial testing are loaded to failure or at least
twice the design load.Such piles are generally not used in the final construction.

The number of Routine Test may be 1.5% of the total number of piles required.
The number of test may be increased to 2% in a particular case depending upon
the nature, type of structure and strata conditions.The Routine Test shall
be carried out to 1.5 times the estimated safe load.During this test pile should
be loaded upto one and half times the working(design) load and the maximum settlement
of the test should not exceed 12mm.These piles may be used in the final construction.

 PILE LOADING TEST


Load Test shall be performed when concrete has reached its required strength i.e.
28 days strength.There are mainly 3 types of loading test carried out on pile.

  • Vertical/Axial Load Test (Compression)
  • Lateral Load Test
  • Pull Out Test
