API Training & Practice sets consist of specimens designed to meet the requirements of API standards for flaw interpretation and flaw size analysis in weld inspection. These specimens are suitable for practice, qualification and method development and contain typical flaw types such as cracks, pores and weld irregularities across a variety of material and thickness combinations.

Key features and benefits

• Customized API standards for training and qualification

• Contains samples with realistic defects and error variations

• Comes with documentation describing fault location, size and type

• Suitable for use in ultrasound (UT), X-ray (RT), magnetic particle inspection and penetrant methods

• Used in training programs, certification tests and method verification

Areas of application

• Certification and qualification of NDT inspectors according to API standard

• Training in misinterpretation and dimensioning of defects in welds

• Calibration and verification of inspection procedures and instruments

• Use in industry and educational environments that require realistic test sets
