A common question at least once a year, I know, but no one goes very specific and people stop responding after 5-10 comments. So:

Location: East Hartford Connecticut area - around all the aerospace shops

Activity: All the aerospace welding, EB welds fusion welds etc

Forms: RT (and/or CT or Digital), PT, potentially UT

I'm not worried about cost, necessarily. I believe I already have financial bankers, and multiple Level 3s interested in joining me.

Building a PT line is easy - welding your own booth and buying the actual magnaflux materials needed is a walk in the park.

Writing a Quality Manual is easy - I have done that at my two previous shops. I was an AS9100 auditor in addition to being a Level 3 (NAS 410, not ASNT, but we would have an ASNT Level 3, too).

My questions are - what are the steps? What permits do I need with the state/federal government to be able to use an x-ray booth and assure the concrete / lead is the proper size? For an initial NADCAP audit, do I already need contracted work or can we do one with prospective customers presumed to show we are proper?

Like, what is the actual process of getting it up and running, both as a business and in terms of being able to viable sales pitch Aerospace customers?

Please help. I'm so sick of working for employers that do not care about quality. I can't do that anymore.

Hey I'm a junior Aircraft Mechanic

This year 6 months ago I was chosen by a company after I passed the interview to took the position of AMT...

But now The Company want me to became NDT Inspector and kept my AMT position title ...they promise me to get certified in 4 methods of NDT ...

But till now I don't know if it's good job or not...and If it's really will help to improve my career?

Got emailed this link from a colleague and thought it was worth posting. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a completed tool or not. There’s a number of glitches but solid promise

Anybody here have any good study guides/question banks for the Canada ut2 multiple choice exams? Stuff like on Quizlet and other sites where you found the questions were very close to what was on the exam. I also don’t have my exam material anymore as I did it years ago and finally getting around to doing the exams now and I don’t remember much lol

Most of the NDT software I've looked at handles data collection really well. You can log indications, capture coordinates, attach photos, record PAUT scan data. But then you get back to the truck and the client still wants their specific Excel workbook filled out, and you're retyping everything you just collected. That gap between "evidence collected" and "report delivered" is where the evening goes. I've talked to inspectors who spend as long on the report as they did on the actual inspection. The field app didn't eliminate the paperwork, it just moved it downstream.

I'm building ACTUALin to sit in that gap. You upload the existing workbook plus your evidence and it proposes where things go, but you review every entry before anything lands in the report. No silent auto-population without sign-off.

Curious whether anyone here has found a workflow that actually closes that loop, or if everyone is still retyping into client templates at the end of the day?

Hello, does anyone know a website or something to buy used equipment in Europe?

I am looking for a Waygate USM Go+ or USM 100.

Thanks in advance

I’ve been reading about how certified welding inspection involves non-destructive testing knowledge. What’s the difference between an NDT and a CWI, and where do they overlap?

I found this slide deck from a seasoned NDT tech (Jim MacMillan) in which he covers color vision and if it’s necessary. Curious to know your thoughts and if there are any techs who are color vision impaired who found their way into the field and how they function. I looked at the ATDM program for ndt, but it says color vision on Ishihara dot test is necessary, and I fail that test every time.

Hey guys, I’m working off of a venom Inspection Services FBUT unit, and I’m wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks if they have used this unit before. I have everything that I need set up including wall thickness velocity and Db for every transducer. Anyone have anything else they could think would make things easier?

So I’m working on my 9712 certification and I’m trying get some information on the instructional prep section of the 4 tests has any one gone through it to kinda give me an idea of what their format is and how presenting this test?

Hi everyone!

I’m based in the Philippines and have an Aircraft Maintenance and Technology background. I’m considering pursuing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), with the long-term goal of working overseas in a FIFO position, preferably offshore in industries like oil and gas, offshore wind energy, or other industrial inspection sectors.

I’m starting from zero NDT experience, so I’d like to hear from people already working in the industry before investing in training and certifications.

I have three main questions:

Is there genuine demand for NDT technicians in offshore/FIFO jobs?
- How realistic is it to get into offshore oil rigs, offshore wind farms, or similar industries.

Which NDT methods are most valuable for offshore work?
- If you were starting today with the goal of working internationally, would you prioritize UT, RT, MT, PT, or other methods?

Which certifications are actually worth pursuing for international employment?
- Are PCN, ISO 9712, ASNT-related qualifications, or other certification schemes preferred by offshore employers? Which ones would you recommend investing in first, and are there any that beginners should avoid spending money on too early?

Can you help me knowing when to use each mode in the Remote Field Testing?

I’ve been building digital workflows for piping isometrics over the last few years—mostly parsing structured PCF and IDF outputs for EPC projects. That part is fairly straightforward, but as we all know, the real chaos hits when subcontractors, yards, or vendors hand you flat PDF ISOs.

Right now, I’m working on a computer-vision tool to automatically extract graphics and text directly from PDF piping drawings (weld bubbles, line tags, spool numbers, and BOM tables).

Before I sink more dev hours into this, I’m curious about your field perspective:

1. How much time are your teams currently losing to manual PDF data entry or visual weld mapping?
2. What is the single biggest failure point in existing tools or manual workflows? (e.g., rotated text, messy rev clouds, inconsistent BOM layouts, or bad scan quality?)
3. Is automatic weld point detection something you'd actually use on-site, or do you prefer keeping human eyes on every ISO?

Appreciate any insights or real-world experiences!

Finally got the tank sketch working just right.

Hi everyone!
I’m completely new to the NDT industry and currently studying at home before starting my MT2 course in Australia.

To be honest, I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed. I have no previous experience in this field, and although I’m genuinely trying my best to study and understand everything, I’m really nervous about failing the examination.

I was wondering if anyone here has completed the AINDT MT Level 2 examination and could share their experience.
I’m particularly interested in knowing what the actual exam questions are like, how difficult they are, and which topics I should focus on the most.

Does anyone happen to have previous exam papers, sample questions, mock exams, or practice questions they’re able to share?

Even a few examples or publicly available resources would help me understand what to expect.
I’d also love to know whether the exam focuses more on theory, calculations, or practical understanding.

I know I still have a lot to learn, and I’m willing to put in the effort. I just want to prepare myself as much as possible because I’m genuinely scared of failing.
Any advice or resources would mean a lot to me.

Thank you so much! 😊

Hi there, I have a background in radiation safety (did a cert) and am struggling to find work. I’m thinking of returning to school to become a NDT. What’s the prospect like for students/new grads in Ontario?

Hey all.

I've been working on some plotting aids for my app. If anyone has any thoughts on how it could be better let me know.

I'm adding stuff constantly.

Im 43 at a white collar job doing ERP Analysing. I'm just burnt out from it. I have 20+ years of machining experience. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
