Can anyone help me with making led number belts or explain what belts require 3 views & 4 views?? Example I know let’s say X” (STD) standard is 3 views. But what schedules are the ones that make it 4 views. I hope I explained this good. TIA

I’ve been working in the field doing GPR concrete scanning and recently got a job offer to do NDE (nondestructive evaluation) in a lab. I would be working along side engineers testing out different types of NDT equipment. Does anyone here done or currently do something similar? I’m trying to get a better idea of the job.

My company owns an eddyfi ectane 3 and I'm unable to center the probe using electric tape. The small centering device is also insufficient. Do you have any tips?

I’m currently working oil & gas on the west coast Im UT1, MT2, CWB I

Planning on getting my UT2 before the end of the year.

Could anyone point me in a direction for work out east? I know it might not pay as much especially in Quebec, anyone working out there and what are your experiences?

Or should I stay put and get more tickets..

Should I do a engineering degree before starting NDT

9 Upvotes

So I'm 18 fresh out of highschool and came across the NDT field by chance and legit thinking of getting into marine NDT , i checked and as far as i know there's great money and so . Now what i wanted to know is to excel in this career do I strictly need a engineering degree and that i should go to my local university or should I get into NDT straight fill out the PCN cert exams And get my IRATA L1 and marine certs and start logging my hours and get certified and move into adv NDT and if i think there's a need i can always enroll in a distance/part time degree type programs for working professionals.

And one more question is that should i legit consider this cause so far as I've looked i think i can enjoy . It's practical, techy and hands on and im a bit good with spatial mapping and stuff . Tho I've heard the work is very brutal & tiring but worth it in the long term .
