NDI OF ADVANCED COMPOSITES
R-CON NDT is the industry leader in providing training for the
inspection of composite materials. With over 20 years of combined
composite inspection experience, R-CON NDT will familiarize
the student with the different types of manufacturing processes
and how they can be inspected. In each of our three classes,
all NDT methods used to inspect composites are discussed.
|
Course 1 - Introduction to NDT of Advanced
Composites
This one day course introduces the student to composites and
the methods used to nondestructively evaluate them. The class
discusses manufacturing processes, NDT methods, specifications
and procedures, and includes a hands-on demonstration of ultrasonics
and bond testing. This course is intended for any person who
needs to understand what role NDT plays in the composite industry.
Schedule and Location - Available monthly at R-Con NDT or
our instructors can come to your facility.
Fees - 175.00 / Person for course 1 at R-Con (four student minimum)
85.00 / Hour plus expenses for R-Con instruction at your facility

Course 2 - NDT of Composites
In this three day (24 hour) course, the student becomes
familiar with composites and the nondestructive test methods
used to inspect them. Emphasis is on ultrasonic inspection
and the various techniques used for the inspection of
composites. The course includes types of defects sought,
the use of reference standards, procedures and acceptance
criteria, and advanced inspection methods. Both classroom
lecture and hands-on labs are included. The course is
intended for Level I, II, and III technicians, as well
as engineers and managers who are directly involved with
NDT of composites. This course is intended for any person
who has the need to understand what role NDT plays in
the composite testing field.
Schedule and Location: Course 2 NDT of composites is
available monthly at R-CON NDT or our instructors can
come to your facility.
Fees: 625.00 / Person at our R-Con NDT facility (three
student minimum).
125.00 / Hour plus expenses for instruction at your facility.

Course
3 - Advanced NDT of Composites
This three day course deals with situations that the NDT
technician will encounter in the inspection of composite
materials. It is intended for individuals who have attended
Course 1 or who already have a good working knowledge
of NDT and composite materials. In addition to a brief
review of the material contained in Course 1, it discusses
in detail items such as visual inspection prior to NDT,
discontinuity characterization and sizing, damage and
repair inspections, typical ultrasonic techniques, and
abilities and limitations of each NDT method. Both classroom
lecture and hands-on labs with different types of equipment
are included.

Course
4 - Bondmaster Training
This is a 2 day (16 hour) course that introduces the student
to composites, NDT methods, and the Bondmaster multi-mode composite
tester. The Bondmaster training course is set in a classroom
environment and covers definitions, NDT methods used to inspect
advanced composites, Bondmaster and modes of operation. The
course also includes hands on training with the Bondmaster.
This course is intended for any person who has the need to understand
bond testing of composite laminates and core assemblies.
