LT-Leak Testing

Course details

Leakage testing is focused on the detection of imperfections in the solid boundary-line, which allow escape of fluids (in presence of the pressure gradient). This method is able to detect imperfections of the base material and its mechanical joints (welded; bonded and soldered joints), failure of metallurgical or technological process and in-service induced imperfections.

What you will learn

Participants of LT courses have two basic options how to get the qualification: Part A is a must and every onemust be trained in this level. Part B or/and C is optional according to their needs. Training is focused on explanation how to recognize important factors that affects the testing results and helps NDT operator to understand how set-up process parameters to get relevant and accurate test results.

The level 1 training covers theory overview in direct connection to requirements of the relevant standards. This gained knowledge will prepare operator for accurate test performance. Training for Level 2 operators covers additionally detailed overview of relevant evaluation standards. Classroom training is accompanied by evaluation of study cases; and by practical tasks with testing and evaluation of samples.

About Certification

The examination and certification process is directly related to qualification system. In case when the training is performed in accordance with EN 473 / ISO 9712 the certificate can be issued by independent European certification body ATG CERT.
