ASNT NDT Level II Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) Training Program
Master Surface Defect Detection with Industry-Focused Training
The ASNT NDT Level II Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) Training Program at Advantech NDT Academy is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to perform, interpret, and evaluate Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) inspections in accordance with industry standards. The program follows the recommended training guidelines of ASNT SNT-TC-1A and prepares participants for Level II competency in Liquid Penetrant Testing.
This course combines comprehensive classroom instruction with extensive hands-on practical training, enabling participants to confidently inspect components, interpret indications, evaluate inspection results, and prepare professional inspection reports.
Course Overview
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), also known as Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI), is a widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for detecting surface-breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials. It is commonly used in industries such as oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, power generation, fabrication, manufacturing, and maintenance.
The Level II training program enables participants to:
Perform Liquid Penetrant Testing independently
Select the appropriate penetrant inspection technique
Prepare test surfaces for inspection
Apply penetrants, developers, and cleaning methods correctly
Evaluate and interpret inspection indications
Differentiate relevant and non-relevant indications
Assess discontinuities based on applicable acceptance criteria
Prepare accurate inspection reports and documentation
What You Will Learn
The course covers both theoretical concepts and practical applications, including:
Fundamentals of Liquid Penetrant Testing
Principles of Capillary Action
Types of Liquid Penetrant Systems
Visible and Fluorescent Penetrants
Solvent Removable, Water Washable, and Post-Emulsifiable Systems
Surface Preparation and Cleaning Methods
Penetrant Application Techniques
Dwell Time and Development Time
