VT-VISUAL TESTING Training Course

NDT Visual Testing (VT) Training Course in Kolkata

Visual Testing (VT) is one of the most widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods for examining the surface condition, workmanship, dimensions and visible discontinuities of welds, materials and engineering components without damaging them.

The NDT Visual Testing Training Course in Kolkata at Palium Skills is designed for students, engineers, NDT technicians, welding inspectors, QA/QC professionals and working personnel who want to develop practical knowledge of visual inspection and welding inspection.

The training covers the fundamentals of Visual Testing, light and illumination, physiology of vision, imaging, visual examination of welds, weld discontinuities, inspection equipment, fibre-optic borescopes, inspection documentation and evaluation of results.

Participants also learn how Visual Testing is applied in welding, fabrication, manufacturing and engineering inspection environments and how inspection findings are documented against applicable specifications and acceptance criteria.

The course is intended to provide industry-oriented knowledge and practical exposure for learners looking to develop skills in NDT Visual Testing, visual weld inspection and quality inspection.  

What is Visual Testing (VT)?

Visual Testing is one of the most widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods for examining the surface condition, workmanship, dimensions and visible discontinuities of materials and components without damaging them.

The method is extensively used in welding inspection, fabrication, manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, pipelines, pressure vessels, structural engineering and maintenance.

The NDT Visual Testing Training Course in Kolkata at Palium Skills, is designed for students, welding professionals, inspection personnel, quality professionals and working engineers who want to develop practical skills in visual inspection and weld inspection.

Participants learn how to identify common weld discontinuities, use visual inspection tools, evaluate components against specified acceptance criteria and prepare inspection documentation.
