NDT Procedures

Insure the quality and consistency of your inspections through the use of clearly written NDT procedures. NDT-CGI maintains a library of NDT procedures covering most techniques and industries. Procedures can be written specifically for your needs and are deliverable in electronic format.

Listed below are some of the procedure we can supply. If the procedure you require is not listed here please contact us at info@ndt-cgi.com.

Procedure for the Qualification and Certification of NDT Personnel
The purpose of this procedure is to establish the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel performing Nondestructive Inspection. It provides instructions and defines the responsibilities for the administration of training, examinations and certifications of NDT personnel. It meets the requirements of SNT-TC-1A, MIL-STD 410 and NAS-410.

Fluorescent Liquid Penetrant Examination Of Aircraft Components
This NDT Procedure establishes the minimum requirements for fluorescent liquid penetrant examination of aircraft and jet engine components conducted in accordance with the requirements of the referenced codes, standards or manufacturer’s manuals. It includes PT quality control requirements.

Magnetic Particle Examination of Aircraft Components
This NDT Procedure establishes the minimum requirements for magnetic particle (MT) examinations on ferromagnetic components conducted in accordance with the requirements of the referenced codes, standards or manufacturer’s manuals. It includes MT quality control requirements.

Magnetic Particle Examination
This NDT Procedure establishes the minimum requirements and describes the techniques for magnetic particle (MT) examinations on ferromagnetic welds and components conducted in accordance with the requirements of the referenced codes/standards.

Liquid Penetrant Examination
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction and define the responsibilities for conducting visible penetrant examination to the requirements of the referenced documents on welds or materials using the visible penetrant solvent removable process.

Fluorescent Liquid Penetrant Examination
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction and define the responsibilities for conducting visible penetrant examination to the requirements of the referenced documents on welds or materials using fluorescent penetrant solvent removable process

Radiographic Film Processing
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions, define the responsibilities, and establish techniques for processing radiographic films.

Procedure For Controlling The Quality Of Industrial Radiographic Film Processing
This document contains instructions and requirements for accomplishing the control and maintenance of industrial radiographic film processing equipment.

Radiographic Examination, IAW ASME Section V, Article 2
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions, define the responsibilities, and establish techniques for the radiographic examination of full penetration butt and T-joint welds from 1/8 inch to 6 inches (3 mm to 150 mm thick) in wrought (rolled, drawn, forged, or extruded) and cast materials as required in accordance with requirements of the referenced codes or standards.

Radiographic Examination, IAW AWS D1.1-2000 And ANSI/AAHTO/AWS D1.5-96
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions, define the responsibilities, and establish techniques for the radiographic examination of fabricated and erected steel structures in accordance with the requirements of the referenced codes or standards.

Radiographic Examination IAW API Standard 1104
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions, define the responsibilities, and establish techniques for the radiographic examination of butt, fillet and socket welds in carbon and low-alloy steel piping in accordance with requirements of API Standard 1104.

Ultrasonic Instrument Qualification
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction and define the responsibilities for conducting ultrasonic instrument qualification to the requirements of the referenced documents.

Ultrasonic Examination IAW ASME Section V
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions and establish techniques for the manual ultrasonic examination (UT) of full penetration butt and T-joint welds from 10 mm to 150 mm thick (3/8 inch to 6 inches) in wrought (rolled, drawn, forged, or extruded) and cast materials as required in accordance with requirements of the referenced codes or standards.

Ultrasonic Examination IAW AWS D1.1-2000
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction and define the responsibilities for conducting ultrasonic examination to the requirements of the referenced documents on welds or materials.

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging
This purpose of this procedure is to provide instruction and define the responsibilities for conducting ultrasonic thickness gauging to the requirements of the referenced documents on welds or materials.

Procedure Review

If you already have written your NDT procedures, we can review them to insure that they meet the applicable codes. William Blum, has conducted more than 880 reviews of 465 individual procedures submitted by organizations from throughout the world. He co-authored the article “Successful NDT Procedure Development” printed in the October 1997 issue of Materials Evaluation. Procedures can be submitted via the internet for quick review.
