ABOUT INTERNATIONAL WELDING INSPECTION PERSONNEL (IWIP)

On completing the course, you will have extensive knowledge of welding and inspection theory and application. The course is presented in modular form similar to IWIP Standard and IWIP Basic i.e. there is a Technology module and an Inspection module that have to be successfully completed in order to attain the IWIP Comprehensive certificate.

Successful IWIP Comprehensive candidates will, amongst other things, be able to manage all Inspection activities; supervise IWIP Basic and IWIP Standard personnel developing and then giving them appropriate (on-the job) instructions; act as technical experts for the inspection function. People holding the IWT or IWE qualifications are exempted from doing the IWIP Comprehensive Technology module but are required to complete the Inspection modules from the IWIP Basic,

IWIP Standard and IWI Comprehensive courses and, on passing, they will have to go through an interview process, which, if they pass, will lead to them attaining the IWIP Comprehensive certificate.

IWI - Comprehensive LevelThe IWIP Comprehensive is the most prestigious and the highest level of the IWIP courses. Candidates who have successfully completed the IWIP Standard course and are in possession of two years’ Welding Inspection experience at the Standard level are eligible for the Comprehensive course.

In addition, there are many materials for the engineer to utilise including a large range of ferrous alloys ranging from steel alloys through to cast iron as well as non-ferrous alloys. Techniques have also been developed for welding plastics, ceramics and other exotic materials. The Appreciation of Welding course is designed to provide candidates with an overview of welding technology in order to understand welding better and make informed welding related decisions.

With increasing operating stresses and temperatures, use of new materials and innovative designs, engineers are finding it increasingly difficult to contain maintenance and fabrication costs due to their lack of knowledge of welding technology and related sciences. With increased knowledge of welding technology, it has been proven that substantial cost savings are possible.

Personnel in senior positions must have an appreciation of welding technology to ensure that maintenance, fabrication and construction work is being carried out effectively in terms of quality and cost effectiveness.

Welding is a complex subject with many welding processes available ranging from the traditional “stick” welding through to advanced processes such as laser welding.

WELD QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND WELDING COORDINATION: ISO 3834 and ISO 14731Manufacturing processes such as fusion welding are widely used to produce many products, and for some companies, these are the key production features.Products may range from simple to complex. Examples include pressure vessels, domestic and agricultural equipment, cranes, bridges, transport vehicles and other items. These processes exert a profound influence on the cost of manufacture and on the quality of the product. It is therefore important to ensure that these processes are carried out in the most effective way and that appropriate control is exercised over all aspects of the operation. The ISO 3834 Quality Management System will be consulted to clearly define all the welding related aspects and how to manage them on a day to day basis.

The course is aimed at assisting those in the Welding Coordination teams to implement and manage ISO 3834 as well as to familiarise them with their roles as stated in ISO 14731.

IIW INTERNATIONAL WELDERCOURSE INFORMATION

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) has developed a training programme for welders where the IIW seeks to achieve harmonisation in the training, examination and qualification testing of welders globally.

The training and assessment is linked to the requirements of ISO 9606, which provides a scheme for qualification testing of welders. Internationally, and specifically in South Africa, industry requires welders with more skill for the sake of flexibility in production.

The International Welder programme provides a combination of comprehensive theoretical knowledge and high practical skills assessed by tests of increasing difficulty including ISO 9606 qualification tests and by theoretical examinations. The programme is presented at three different levels - fillet, plate and pipe welder.

Training times for practical welding vary from person to person; therefore the training times detailed on page 57 are based on previous training experience. It is possible to finish the required modules in a shorter period of time whilst some individuals may require additional training time compared to that indicated in the table on page 69.

Obtaining qualification for experienced welders

Experienced welders may enter the programme at any level. In order to obtain the qualification, the relevant theory training and examination will need to be completed along with all the relevant qualification (including lower levels, ie Module A & B) tests pertaining to the qualification required. Example: If a welder requires the International Pipe Welder qualification (all positions) for TIG welding, the theory modules and examinations (A, B, C & ST – 9 days) would need to be completed and the 5 qualification tests (Fillet,

Plate & Pipe) as detailed opposite. No practical training is necessary if the welder is competent to achieve the required quality standard as detailed in international standards (ISO 9606) for all the required qualification tests. Once an assessment has been undertaken on the welders skill level, an individual training programme can be specified which will be quoted individually.

Outcomes of training

Upon completion of the course, trainees will be able to demonstrate the required level of skill in accordance with ISO9606 or similar standard (ASME IX) and pass the required theoretical examination. Candidates will be able to produce basic Fillet, Plate and Pipe Welds with the chosen welding process depending on the level of qualification and have a basic understanding of the theory of welding. The graduating welder will be awarded with an IIW Diploma plus a Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) as per International Standards.

South Africa is in need of high quality welding skills.



67

Course AccessAppropriate health as well as physical and mental capability is required to enter at Fillet Welder level.

ABOUT NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT)Non Destructive Testing (NDT) refers to the testing of material and components without inhibiting its further usefulness. Applied scientific principles such as electromagnetic induction, magnetism, capillary action, mechanical vibration, electromagnetic waves, etc. are utilised to identify and characterise discontinuities within tested samples or areas of interest.



71

The SAQCC-NDT scheme is the very first NDT qualification and certification scheme developed ‘in Africa by Africans for Africans’ that is registered under the ICNDT MRA Schedule to via the SAIW Certification (PCB).

Training is sector specific and can be subdivided into the following main sections:

Terminology and history; Physical principles; Product technology and method capabilities, Equipment; Testing information; Testing process; Interpretation / evaluation and reporting; Assessment quality aspects and Developments

Training, Qualification and Certification is subdivided into three levels as stipulated by ISO 9712:2012.

• An individual certified to Level 1 has demonstrated competence to carry out NDT according to written instructions and under the supervision of Level 2 or Level 3 personnel. Level 1 personnel may be authorized to perform the following in accordance with NDT instructions: a) set up NDT equipment; b) perform the tests; c) record and classify the results of the tests according to written criteria; d) report the results.

• Level 2 personnel may be authorized by the employer to perform certain tasks which include: a) select the NDT technique for the testing method

to be used; b) define the limitations of application of the testing method; c) translate NDT codes, standards, specifications, and procedures into NDT instructions adapted to the actual working conditions; d) set up and verify equipment settings; e) perform and supervise tests; f) provide guidance for personnel at or below Level 2; g) report the results of NDT.

• Level 3 personnel may be authorized to perform certain tasks which include: a) assume full responsibility for a test facility or examination centre and staff; b) interpret standards, codes, specifications, and procedures; c) carry out and supervise all tasks at all levels; f) provide guidance for NDT personnel at all levels.


Training for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is provided by the SAIW in compliance with ISO/TR 25108 in accordance with the syllabus provided in ISO/TR 25107 (ASNT CP 105 as well as IAEA Tecdoc 628 are also incorporated) and recognised by an ISO 17024 accredited Personnel Certification Body (PCB) under the scope of ISO 9712, i.e. SAIW Certification PCB, which operates the SAQCC-NDT Scheme.

EDDY CURRENT TESTING COURSE INFORMATIONEddy current testing (ECT) is an electromagnetic testing method in which electromagnetic induction is utilised to detect any discontinuities. The basic requirement for eddy current testing therefore is that the material being tested or in the case of paint thickness measurement the substrate, should be electrically conductive. Eddy current testing can be regarded as both a surface as well as subsurface testing method since the depth to which the inspection can effectively be performed depends on the frequency of the excitation current, the electrical conductivity as well as magnetic properties of the material being tested.

The presence of magnetic saturation weak magnetic alloys, shielding or focussing nature of the probe as well as the display capabilities extends the technique description. The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:

• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 8• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 26• ISO 15549 ECT – General principles• ISO 15548 Part 1 ECT – Instrument Characteristics and verification• ISO 15548 Part 2 ECT – Probe Characteristics and verification• ISO 15548 Part 3 ECT – System Characteristics and verification• ISO 17643 ECT – Welds• ISO 2360 ECT - Non-Conductive coatings – Amplitude sensitive equipment • ISO 21968 ECT - Non-Conductive coatings – Phase sensitive equipment• ISO 12718 ECT - Vocabulary

If this sounds like a mouthful, then we invite you to dust off your high school knowledge regarding electrical transformers and attend an ECT course.

The techniques utilised in eddy current testing depends on the sample being tested, i.e. whether it is a surface, tube, bar or other more complex shapes since it dictates the type of probe to be used. Furthermore, the number of frequencies and the inspection mode(s) such as absolute or differential determines the multi- frequency and / or mode technique description.



MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING COURSE INFORMATIONMagnetic Testing (MT) refers to a surface and very limited subsurface Non-Destructive Testing method that relies on the magnetic nature of the relevant material being tested, to reveal any discontinuities on the surface or major longitudinal indications just below the surface. The material should therefore allow for magnetic fields to be generated inside or pass through the material, hence the requirement for material is that it should be ferromagnetic which means that the material should have a magnetic permeability much greater than 1.

In addition the technique description should also refer to the type of magnetic particles used to make indications visible.

The training course is based on general theory as well as sector specific applications relating, but not limited to, the following standards and specifications:

• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection A - Article 1 & 7• ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section V - Subsection B - Article 25• ISO 9934 Parts 1 MT – General Principals• ISO 9934 Parts 2 MT – Detection media• ISO 9934 Parts 3 MT – Equipment• ISO 12707 MT - Vocabulary• ISO 17638 MT – Welds• ISO 4986 MT – Castings• ISO 23278 MT – Acceptance Levels

If you are interested in magnetism and would like to find out how magnetic fields are used to detect discontinuities in ferromagnetic material then Magnetic Testing is the place to start your career in NDT.

Inspection techniques depend on the type of current being used to magnetise the material, whether the excitation current is maintained during the application of magnetic particles or not as well as nature of the magnetic field generated i.e. linear or circular.



PENETRANT TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Penetrant or liquid penetrant testing (PT) refers to a surface type non-destructive testing method that allows a liquid (containing dye to increase visibility) to fill an empty void, which is open to the surface, due to the capillary action of the liquid. Once the excess penetrant is removed from the surface a developer is applied to the surface which allows the penetrant to be absorbed into a contrasting medium (normally white powder) revealing the presence of a discontinuity. Penetrant testing can effectively be applied to any type of material, as long as the discontinuity sought, is open to the surface.

If you enjoyed chemistry at school and your interest in liquids exceeds that of swimming and the occasional beer, then we invite you to start your career in one of the most basic yet useful NDT methods around.

Inspection techniques depend on whether the dye used is under normal light or backlight conditions (or both), the type of penetrant, excess penetrant removal process as well as developer used during testing. Furthermore, since



VISUAL TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Visual testing is the most simple and commonly used NDT methods utilised today. Visual testing is very often the first inspection that is performed on any component or in any environment since you have to observe what you need to inspect and the inspection area. Visual testing is very much a surface inspection method. Visible light (within the 390 – 700nm range of the electromagnetic spectrum) and the interaction of it with a solid surface are used to detect indications that are open to the surface and that is not masked by any foreign material or debris. So effectively, what you can see is what you can detect.

If you enjoyed working with lenses and mirrors in high school and if lasers fascinates you, then you are invited to attend a course in the most basic of all NDT methods and challenge you to become the next ‘Sherlock Holmes’ – certainly the most famous ‘visual testing specialist’ of all times.



RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING COURSE INFORMATIONRadiographic testing (RT) makes use of electromagnetic waves within the 0.01 to 10 nanometre (X-rays) or the < 0.01 nanometre (Gamma-rays) spectrum. At these ranges, the electromagnetic wave can effectively pass through a solid material, and an image can be created, either on film or electronic detection sensors, of what the internal structure of the material might be.

character, then this is the right NDT method for you. However, please keep in mind you must have a sound knowledge exponents and logarithms. Radiographic techniques depend on the type of wave used, the exposure configuration and the image formation.

Details of specific codes utilised in the limited (RT 2.Int) as well as derived or advanced techniques courses (RT 2.9) can be found in the relevant training documents.

Therefor radiographic testing is a volumetric testing method effective for finding any discontinuities that exceeds a 2% cross-sectional void or material change in relation to the actual beam orientation.

The energy levels of these very short waves exceed 100eV and put the operator at risk of harmful ionisation radiation which cannot be seen, heard, felt, tasted or smelled. Radiation safety training is there for essential in order to achieve and maintain an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) exposure rating.

ULTRASONIC TESTING COURSE INFORMATIONUltrasonic testing (UT) method utilise mechanical vibration within the ultrasonic range (> 20kHz) to detect volumetric discontinuities within solid materials.

Also the send-or-receive / send-and-receive capabilities of the sensors are some of the technique parameters together with the scanning methodology used for example the tandem technique.

Details of specific codes utilised in the limited (UT 1.WT) as well as derived or advanced techniques courses (UT 2.7; 2.8; 2.9; 2.10 and 2.11) can be found in the relevant training documents.

Both compression and shear waves are used to investigate the internal nature of components while the interaction of waves with linear, planar or volumetric ‘vacancies’ are used to characterise any discontinuities detected.

The sound beam is the primary inspection medium and both the qualification (properties) and quantification (calibration) thereof is essential for the interpretation of signal response. If you enjoy playing pool and have a knack for geometry and trigonometry, then we invite you to attend an ultrasonic testing course. It will change the way that you look at any engineering material or weldment.

Compression and shear wave applications having various angles and frequencies are building blocks for determining the techniques used.

PORTABLE HARDNESS TESTING COURSE INFORMATION

Conventional hardness testers, like Rockwell, Brinell or Vickers machines, require the test piece be brought to the testing device, but this is not always possible.

Portable hardness testing devices have been developed that permit in-situ

hardness measurements thus offering quick and economical supplements to conventional, stationary testing machines.

This three day course will define hardness, conventional methods of hardness testing and various methods of portable hardness testing. Practical

session during the course will give hands on experience on the portable hardness testing machines with various samples ranging from steel, stainless steel, aluminium and plastics.

After the course, the person will be competent to undertake in-situ hardness testing.

The main purpose of hardness testing is to determine the suitability of a material for a given application.

REPLICA METALLOGRAPHY COURSE INFORMATION

In those instances, destructive metallographic tests are unsuitable as further usability of the component is required. Replica metallographic technique is an in-situ, non-destructive technique to reveal the microstructure of components.

The usual method of metallographic investigation involves cutting pieces from the component so that laboratory preparation and examination can be performed. However, in replica metallography, after proper surface preparation through the use of cellulose acetate sheets, the technician makes a copy (for this reason it is called “replica”) of the microstructure of the metal surface, which will be examined

using an optical microscope.The four day course on replica metallography will give an insight into the different types of materials, importance of metallography, and how to do lab metallography and replica metallography. On successful completion of the course, the candidate will be a competent replica technician. Evaluation of the metallographs is undertaken by a qualified metallurgist.

Metallographic inspections play a key role in determining the remaining life assessment, creep life of pressure vessels, pipelines, power plants and in verifying the material and heat treatment of fabricated equipment.
