Advanced Weld specimens are designed for detailed training, qualification, and defect interpretation exercises in non-destructive testing (NDT). These specimens demonstrate realistic weld defects across multiple techniques, allowing users to practice defect detection, defect size assessment, and interpretation under close scrutiny to the requirements of certification programs such as ASNT, API, and ISO 9712.

Key features and benefits

• Available as single samples or composite sets with multiple defect types

• Each sample is delivered with an NDE report, error table and acceptance/rejection criteria.

• Suitable for material choices such as carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum

• Compatible with multiple testing methods: ultrasonic (UT), magnetic particle inspection, penetrant testing, visual inspection, and X-ray

• Standardized welding defects and geometric shapes that reflect typical industrial defects

• Suitable for advanced training programs and certification preparation

Areas of application

• Training and education in error detection methods

• Qualification preparation for NDT technicians

• Comparative studies and calibration of inspection equipment

• Demonstration of techniques and error types for clients and students
