-
Interpret the results of all methods of non-destructive testing (NDT), such as acoustic emission, electromagnetic, leak, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, neutron radiographic, radiographic, thermal or infrared, ultrasonic, vibration analysis, and visual testing.
-
Identify defects in concrete or other building materials, using thermal or infrared testing.
-
Prepare reports on non-destructive testing results.
-
Document non-destructive testing methods, processes, or results.
-
Make radiographic images to detect flaws in objects while leaving objects intact.
-
Interpret or evaluate test results in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or procedures.
-
Map the presence of imperfections within objects, using sonic measurements.
-
Develop or use new non-destructive testing methods, such as acoustic emission testing, leak testing, and thermal or infrared testing.
-
Evaluate material properties, using radio astronomy, voltage and amperage measurement, or rheometric flow measurement.
-
Conduct liquid penetrant tests to locate surface cracks by coating objects with fluorescent dyes, cleaning excess penetrant, and applying developer.
-
Examine structures or vehicles such as aircraft, trains, nuclear reactors, bridges, dams, and pipelines, using non-destructive testing techniques.
-
Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing of products or materials.
-
Identify defects in solid materials, using ultrasonic testing techniques.
-
Supervise or direct the work of non-destructive testing trainees or staff.
-
Visually examine materials, structures, or components for signs of corrosion, metal fatigue, cracks, or other flaws, using tools and equipment such as endoscopes, closed-circuit television systems, and fiber optics.
-
Produce images of objects on film, using radiographic techniques.
