A 2 days Ultrasonic Refresher – Day 2, July 25, 2013
- posted in Announcements
Today we started well before 9 AM. He had taken some time to calibrate the analog UFD with the TR probe for corrosion detection on a specimen. Then he switched to the Digital unit and prepared a test report. We had taken some time to revise some of the angle beam exercises too from our Day 6 question paper.
Mr. Shanavas examined couple of specimens containing known discontinuities and made a test report. We concluded the class by about 5 PM with the DAC exercises on both Analog and Digital units.
A 2 days Ultrasonic Refresher – Day 1, July 24, 2013

Today, we have an old student of ours, Mr Shanavas Ahmed Koya from Kochi. I remember training him in Magnetic, Penetrant, Radiographic, Ultrasonic and Eddy Current methods about 10 years ago. He worked for some major service providers in the Oil field in Abu Dhabi, Singapore & Yemen. He recently left his job with Amosco Khazakstan and works with Petrobase in Nigeria.
He wanted to brush his skills in Ultrasonic Testing since his company may send him for further training in other countries with some specific equipment manufacturers.
I feel the time is a bit short, 2 days or 16 hours may not do justice to what Mr. Shanavas needs, but that is all what he can spare. We decided to start this with an analog unit where our Day 6 and 7 Practical questions will be attended.
I had a feeling that he may have forgotten this, considering the time he had spent in Eddy current and other NDT methods. But not so, he had an old diary with those class notes and could attend these papers with ease.
By the way, there is no fee or charges on refreshers of this kind when offered to students from our old batches. Below are some images that we took during the 1st day of the refresher course.
The UFD shall be calibrated using standard blocks.
Welcome to the all new NDTTech website!

Hello folks!
If you are a returning visitor, you may have noticed that quite a few things have changed around here!
Our previous website, ndttechnology.com was designed way back in 2002, about 4 years after we established ourselves as the pioneers in organized NDT training in Kerala. At that time, we were arguably the only NDT training institute in India that even had a website! We received quite a bit of appreciation for the design and some of the features and content on our website, like the comprehensive certificate listing and the NDT job postings collated from various sources.
We have come a long way from then, and as time passed, we faced considerable difficulty in keeping the content of our website updated on a regular basis. Also, things on the web seem to have changed at an incredibly fast pace, and we felt that our design had become quite out of date considering the websites of today. Keeping these things in mind, we decided to go in for a complete revamp, and after about a month and a half of hard work, we proudly present to you ndttech.org!
This time around, we have used Wordpress to build our website, and we hope it will be much easier to keep the content and the design up to date and in sync with the times. We have retained certain features, such as the certificate listing on our Resources page, and we have also introduced some new ones, like this Blog, where we intend to post announcements, job listings etc.
NDTTech is now also on Facebook and Twitter, do like and follow us!
Please have a good look and let us know what you think, your feedback is welcome and highly appreciated!
