Back-to-Basics: Effect of joint design on NDT Effectiveness

JOIN OUR NDT AND CONDITION MONITORING TECHNICAL GROUP (TG8) WEBINAR

Joint design is often driven by considerations of structural efficiency and ease of fabrication. The implications of the joint geometry and access for post-fabrication or in-service NDT are not necessarily understood.

This event aims to provide those responsible for specifying joint type and design with an appreciation of the impact of joint geometry on the effectiveness of subsequent NDT and the work involved to provide an adequate inspection.

This is also relevant to those fabricating and inspecting the items and to those responsible for overall manufactured quality.

Meet Our Speaker:

Stephen Wisniewski CEng, MWeldI, BEng (Hons), CSWIP/PCN L3

TWI Training and Examinations group Manager, TWI Ltd

Stephen’s credentials span 40 years in NDT initially specialising in RT, MT and PT at a lost wax facility whilst acting as NDT facility manager at the age of 23 yrs.

He went onto become technical manager at an NDT inspection company annexed to a large foundry and fabrication section testing and producing technical NDT procedures including bespoke procedures for client projects in all industry sectors, including shipping, oil and gas, nuclear, power generation and medical. The largest structure tested being a nuclear flask weighing in at 90 tonnes. Stephen went onto gain further specialisms in Digital radiography, TOFD and Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing.

He initially joined TWI in 2007 eventually becoming an Advanced NDT Lecturer and Chief Examiner across both PCN and CSWIP before joining IMechE Engineering Training Solutions as Courses and Examinations Manager in 2013.
