Description
All critical components on a ship must be tested to verify their integrity to ensure they will uphold to designed stresses. Non-Destructive Tester apprentices operate a variety of equipment which typically involve calibrating equipment, conducting the actual test, evaluating the results and writing an inspection report. They gain experience in radiographic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, ultrasonic and eddy current inspection methods. Apprentice training also provides experience in visual inspection, quality, planning, technical applications, quality standards, and codes interpretation.
