NDT Inspector

Evaluate material properties, using radio astronomy, voltage and amperage measurement, or rheometric flow measurement.

Visually examine materials, structures, or components for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws, using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed circuit television systems, and fiber optics.

Produce images of objects on film, using radiographic techniques.

Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines, using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques.

Develop or use new non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, such as acoustic emission testing, leak testing, and thermal or infrared testing.

Make radiographic images to detect flaws in objects while leaving objects intact.

Document non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, processes, or results.

Prepare reports on non-destructive testing (NDT) results.

Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of products or materials.

Conduct liquid penetrant tests to locate surface cracks by coating objects with fluorescent dyes, cleaning excess penetrant, and applying developer.

Supervise or direct the work of non-destructive testing (NDT) trainees or staff.

Interpret or evaluate test results in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or procedures.

Interpret the results of all methods of non-destructive testing (NDT), such as acoustic emission, electromagnetic, leak, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, neutron radiographic, radiographic, thermal or infrared, ultrasonic, vibration analysis, and visual testing.

Identify defects in concrete or other building materials, using thermal or infrared testing.

Identify defects in solid materials using ultrasonic testing techniques.

Map the presence of imperfections within objects, using sonic measurements.
