SGS NDT Training Center

The SGS NDT Training Center in China offers training and certification for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Inspection in accordance with EN 473 and A.S.N.T standards with a particular focus on the extensive training syllabus for all basic NDT methods.

NDT is divided into various techniques of Non-Destructive Testing, based on differing scientific principles.  Choosing the right method and technique for certain products is an important part of the performance of NDT.

Conventional Testing Methods:

• Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
• Eddy Current Electromagnetic Testing (ET)
• Magnetic Particle Testing (MP)
• Positive Material Identification (PMI)
• Radiography Testing (RT)
• Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
• Visual Inspection (VI)

Special Examinations:

• Corroscan (Corrosion Mapping)
• Guided Wawe
• Magnetix Flux Leakage
• Digital Radiography
• IRIS (Internal Rotatory Inspection System)
• Time of Flight Diffraction
• Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT)
• X-ray Crawler
• Hot Hydrogen Attack Analysis
• Infrared Thermography
• Special Leak Testing

The aim is to make EN 473 certified personnel available in China in order to have better inspections and therefore, a much lower risk of products being out of specification on arrival.
