I am planning to pursue NDT Level 3.I have 8 Years of experience in NDT & Project Handling, I hold PCN Level 3 UT & MT. I am looking for everyone’s suggestions for suggesting me which NDT Level 3 Certifications should I pursue. Should I pursue ASNT/ PCN / ISO. Which is having a good value overall / Asian market.

Kindly help me.

Hi, Yes, you are correct. I Will update this post. Thank you.

Sir i think you are missing a NDT method which is Eddy Current.

What do you think about it?

Yeah, You are absolutely right. But unfortunately people did’nt respect our profession.

Do you agree with me or not?

NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) is a method used to inspect materials or components without causing any damage. It helps detect problems like cracks, corrosion, or other defects that could affect the material’s performance. Common techniques include ultrasonic testing, eddy current testing, and magnetic particle testing, among others. These…

One of the earliest known examples of NDT was the use of fire to test the quality of iron and steel. In ancient times, blacksmiths would heat a piece of metal and then quench it in water to see how it performed. If the metal cracked or broke when it was quenched, it was considered to be of poor quality. This method of testing was known…

Good afternoon, dear members of the forum. During the training, the lecturer voiced one thought – that none of the existing NDT methods, even their combination, will give a 100% guarantee of the purity of the welded joint. Do you think he is right or wrong? I will not specify what kind of training, it’s just really possible to say that the weld…
