ISQ Courses
ASNT ISQ
UTT Oil & Gas Application Course – 24 Hours
Description
A hands-on practical examination is used to assess the candidate’s ability to perform ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) on 10 specimens and product forms per the thickness and corrosion scanning ISQ exam. The specimens and areas of interest contain actual or artificially induced discontinuities representing those discontinuities found in the field. Candidates will learn to detect, interpret, and evaluate discontinuities, and properly document test results as mid-wall flaws(M), wall loss(W), or no applicable damage detected(N). Our practice specimens represent the closest possible experience to the actual examination. This specimen library is the main contributor to our 63% ISQ UTT Success Rate.

ASNT ISQ
UTSW Oil & Gas Application Course – 40 Hours
Description
A hands-on practical examination will be used to assess the candidate’s ability to perform ultrasonic shearwave testing (UTSW) on 4 weld specimens per the shear wave pressure equipment weld ISQ exam. The specimens and areas of interest contain actual or artificially-induced discontinuities representing those discontinuities found in the field. Candidates will learn to detect, interpret, and evaluate discontinuities, and properly document test results. Candidates will learn to plot weld defects for a plot drawing examination in addition to the scanning and defect detection examination. We will totally simulate the examination and tune up your flaw characterization and positioning skills. Our SME’s have a 70% pass rate on this examination. Our specimen library mimics the testing environment.

ASNT ISQ
PAUT Oil & Gas Application Course – 24 Hours
Description
A hands-on practical examination will be used to assess the candidate’s ability to perform Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) on 4 weld specimens per the phased array pressure equipment weld ISQ exam. The specimens and areas of interest contain actual or artificially-induced discontinuities representing those discontinuities found in the field. Candidates will learn to detect, interpret, and evaluate discontinuities, and properly document test results. We will totally simulate the examination and tune up your flaw characterization and positioning skills. Our specimen library mimics the testing environment.
