Introduction

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is essential for ensuring the integrity, reliability, and safety of materials and structures without causing damage. Dye Penetrant (DP) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) are widely used methods for detecting surface and near-surface defects in industrial components, particularly in oil & gas, construction, and manufacturing sectors.

This program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides participants with the practical knowledge and technical skills required to perform DP and MPI inspections in accordance with international standards and best practices.

Course Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and applications of NDT methods
• Apply Dye Penetrant (DP) testing techniques for surface defect detection
• Perform Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) for ferromagnetic materials
• Identify types of defects and discontinuities in materials
• Prepare surfaces and select appropriate testing materials
• Interpret inspection results and evaluate findings
• Follow safety procedures and quality standards in NDT
• Ensure compliance with industry codes and inspection requirements

Target Audience
