FABTECH NOVEMBER 2016 / WELDING JOURNAL 77 inspection are presented and discussed. Includes the many types of discontinuities encountered during the visual inspection of welds. Common tools used for visual inspection are presented and discussed (a machinist’s scale, dial calipers, micrometers, fillet weld gauges, the Palmgren gauge, and the V-WAC). Participants will use these gauges to make measurements on weld replicas. This will prepare candidates for Part “B” of the exam. A sample weld specification containing acceptance criteria is presented and discussed, after which students use the specification and visual inspection tools to evaluate the weld replicas using a series of specific questions and scenarios. 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W23 FUNDAMENTALS OF LIQUID PENETRANT TESTING FOR CWIS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PERSONNEL Room: N231 The purpose of this seminar is to provide the fundamental knowledge of penetrant testing required by Certified Welding Inspectors and quality assurance and test personnel to enable them to: ascertain that the proper test technique, or combination of techniques, is being used to ensure the quality of the finished product; interpret, evaluate, and make a sound decision as to the results of any liquid penetrant test; and recognize those areas of doubtful test results that require either retest or assistance in interpretation and evaluation. Topics covered include • Introduction and testing philosophy • Liquid penetrant testing principles with description of procedures, applications, and capabilities • Equipment and materials • Testing techniques including selection of penetrant materials and processes • Interpretation of test results with description of indications and their characteristics • Quality control of penetrant materials. Friday, November 18 8:30 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. Registration Code: W24 FUNDAMENTALS OF RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION FOR CWIS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PERSONNEL Room: N231 The purpose of this workshop is to provide the fundamental knowledge of radiography required by Certified Welding Inspectors and quality assurance and test personnel to enable them to: ascertain that the proper test technique, or combination of techniques, is being used to ensure the quality of the finished product; interpret, evaluate, and make a sound decision as to the results of any radiographic test; and recognize those areas of doubtful test results that require either retest or assistance in interpretation and evaluation. Topics covered include • Introduction and testing philosophy • Radiographic principles, description of x-rays and gamma rays • Radiographic equipment, industrial x-ray and gamma ray equipment, gamma ray sources, and equipment description • Radiographic film, characteristics of film, film processing, and required equipment • Safety considerations, x-ray, gamma ray, and electrical CONFERENCES Wednesday, November 16 8:00 a.m. — 5:00 p.m. Registration Code: W25 DESTRUCTIVE AND NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING CONFERENCE Room: N260 8:00 a.m. — 8:05 a.m. Welcome Ben Pletcher, Cochairman 8:05 a.m. — 8:45 a.m. Destructive Test Errors and Their Effects Larry Van Leaven, Leaven and Associates 8:45 a.m. — 9:20 a.m. When or When Not to Use Phased Array Testing and Current Applications in Industry James Cochran, Kiewit Infrastructure Group 9:20 a.m. — 10:00 a.m. How Phased Array and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Can Be Used Together Effectively Lawrence Mullins, Sr., Summit Group/NxNdT Inc. 10:00 a.m. — 10:15 a.m. BREAK 10:15 a.m. — 10:55 a.m. Ultrasonic Phased Array in Lieu of Radiography — a Practical Comparison of These Two Nondestructive Testing Methods Emilie Peloquin, Olympus Scientific Solutions
