Welding Inspector | GK NDT Services

WELDING INSPECTOR:

Welding Inspector course will teach you the duties and responsibilities of a welding inspector including fusion welding processes, typical weld defects, types of steel (including carbon-manganese, low alloy and stainless steels), the hardening of steels, weld ability, heat treatment, and parent metal defects. The programme also includes visual inspection, the testing of parent metals and welds, and destructive and non-destructive test techniques. You will also learn welder and procedure approval, codes and standards, and an outline of safe working practices.

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

1. Understand factors which influence the quality of fusion welds in steels
2. Recognise characteristics of commonly used welding processes in relation to quality control
3. Interpret drawing instructions and symbols to ensure that specifications are met
4. Set up and report on inspection of welds, macro sections, and other mechanical tests
5. Assess and report on welds to acceptance levels
6. Confirm that incoming material meets stipulated requirements and recognise the effects on weld quality of departure from specification
7. Be in a position to pass the Welding Inspector examinations
