📚 NDT LEARNING TOPICS
• Fundamentals and Standards
Understand the purpose, benefits, terminology, history and applications of NDT, along with standards such as ASTM, ASME, ISO, ASNT, and EN.

• Visual Testing
Learn how direct inspection and optical aids help identify visible defects, corrosion, misalignment, and workmanship issues.

• Liquid Penetrant Testing
Study surface defect detection using penetrants, dwell time, developers, cleaners, emulsifiers, and inspection procedures.

• Magnetic Particle Testing
Understand how magnetic fields and particles locate surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.

• Ultrasonic Testing
Explore sound wave propagation, time-of-flight measurements, thickness evaluation, flaw detection, attenuation, beam paths, calibration, and automated inspection.

• Radiographic and Electromagnetic Methods
Study radiation inspection, image quality, geometric unsharpness, exposure, eddy current concepts, skin depth, coil behaviour, and frequency selection.

• Industrial Applications
