At the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), the world's largest technical society for nondestructive testing professionals, we believe that the public deserves to have confidence in their NDT professionals.
There are many topics related to nondestructive training, or NDT training, which might be confusing for anyone hoping to work in this field. Remuneration, paperwork, and examination are among the many subjects that are publicly debated in both online and offline forums.
The evolution of NDT training has been an interesting and challenging trip. And along the way there have been issues that have not always been effectively addressed.
One of the first requirements for the performance of nondestructive testing (NDT) arose when visual inspections were mandated following fatalities from a boiler explosion in the late 1800s. The need to formalize the qualification of NDT practitioners gradually became apparent.
Curiosity and collaboration will get you everywhere. That was the theme of keynote session at the ASNT Annual Conference. NASA’s Adam Steltzner gave an inspiring keynote about his work landing the Curiosity Rover on Mars, and described the importance of being vulnerable and open to doubt.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) dates back to the late-1800s, to the railroad industry. The “Oil and Whiting” method of crack detection was used to find damage in heavy steel parts.
The importance of nondestructive testing training cannot be overstated. What nondestructive testing technicians do every day has a huge impact on the lives around them. Well trained and qualified technicians provide accurate results for prevention of failures in components or structures.
Bennett is responsible for the certification and technical services provided by ASNT to its customer base. This includes the domestic and international ASNT NDT Level II and III qualification program, ASNT Central Certification Program (ACCP), and the Industrial Radiography Radiation Safety Personnel (IRRSP) program.
As trustees and leaders of the society, the members of the ASNT Board of Directors are selected to bring breadth and depth of experience and understanding, coupled with qualities of character, vision, leadership and responsibility to justify the faith of the members in electing them to lead and guide the society.
