Completion of the LTS PCMT Level I/II 40 hour training course will be a prerequisite

In this course, the student will learn through demonstrations and then executing various pressure change leak testing techniques. The object of this course is to put into practice concepts taught during the PCMT Level I/II course to better understand reliable, efficient PCMT techniques. Students will have the chance to:

• Operate a variety of Test Equipment including various high resolution pressure gauges, thermometers, reference volumes and receive instruction on effectively using these instruments.
• Learning the fittings and hardware for leak testing manifolds (including uses of different types pumps like venturi, air compressors with filtering, tanks and roughing vacuum pumps)
• Pre-testing checks to ensure test reliability (e.g., leak checking manifolds, selecting proper test environment, installing insulation, proper pressure relief device setting and operation)
• Performing a variety of pressure change measurement techniques including pressure decay, rate of rise, pressure change absolute, pressure change calibrated leak technique, automatic PCMT testing (suitcase units) and glovebox PCMT.
• Qualifying various techniques through use of system calibrations
• Use of various tracer gases and environmental effects
• Industry specific techniques for gloveboxes and Type B cask closures, etc.

This course is aimed at the student pursuing certification who has completed the initial 40 hour introduction leak testing course in the applicable methods. Personnel who supervise leak testing technicians will also benefit from this course in order to better understand the leak testing process.

This 6-hour course is for Leak Test personnel who perform immersion, direct pressure film solution, or vacuum box bubble leak testing requiring Level II qualification. This course covers the materials described in the Level I and II Leak Testing Training Outlines contained in ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A, Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, Standard for Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel, and ANSI/ASNT CP-105, Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of NDT Personnel.

MSLT Level I/II is a prerequisite to this week-long course.

When taken together with the MSLT Level I/II course, it is designed to provide the SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 required classroom hours for Level II in PCMT and BT, along with a Level III preparatory review of other leak testing methods. This combination course set has proven to be a very effective means of preparing for the ASNT Level III Method Examination. This combination achieves a substantial savings in tuition, travel expense, and schedule when compared to taking each course separately. Emphasis is placed on providing test demonstrations to solidify the technical concepts discussed.

An intensive 32-hour course for experienced Leak Test personnel and Level II personnel who are preparing for Level III qualification. This course includes problem-solving, leak test methods review, and significant “lessons learned” discussions. Students are not only “prepped” for Level III written examinations, but are also prepared to direct and manage a successful leak testing program.

Price per student: $5,175

A 32-hour course for engineers that prepares Leak Test specifications and procedures, including LT methodologies, design consideration, calibration, and specification requirements. The presentation of the course and the specific applications discussed are typically adjusted to meet the specific industry and products that are relevant to course participants, for example, a focus on Radioactive Material Transportation Packages, ANSI N14.5, AGS Gloveboxes, or other specific industries and product lines.
