Principles and Applications of Liquid Penetrant Testing: A Classroom Training Text
This book covers basic penetrant process requirements, systems and materials, application and removal, types of developers, inspection equipment, and personnel requirements. This updated edition builds on the original book written by Bernie Boisvert. Changes include new color photographs, updated text, and reference to new standards and practices. Intended for technicians who do not need all of the technical data contained in other publications, it is recommended for classroom training, self-instruction, and as a reference

An Introduction to Nondestructive Testing, Second Edition
This publication is written for the NDT novice. It is intended to acquaint the reader with the fundamental nature of NDT. Contents: emphasis on the more common methods (ultrasonics, radiography, magnetic particle, penetrant testing, and eddy current), with a detailed overview of other testing techniques. The author covers the basic physical concepts of the testing techniques, how they are selected, who uses them, and how effective they are in practice.

Radiographic Interpretations, Revised Ed 2020
This popular book has been updated to reflect the expanded content of the fourth edition of the Radiographic Testing Handbook, including digital radiography. Contents are divided into four parts. Part 1: fundamentals, radiographic geometry, and scatter control. Part 2: film image formation and viewing in radiographic testing. Part 3: film digitization, digital image basics, image information, human perception and image display, image enhancement, principles of computed radiography, and an overview of digital radiography. Part 4: discontinuity indications in metal castings and welds.

Fundamentals of Eddy Current Testing, second edition
Fundamentals of Eddy Current Testing, second edition, provides a thorough examination of the basic theory and principles of eddy current testing and builds on the original book written by Donald J. Hagemaier. It is packed with new color photographs and illustrations as well as updated standards and practices, and includes two new chapters on pulsed eddy current and eddy current array. The main topics covered include electrical theory; electromagnetism; inductive reactance and impedance; eddy current test principles; coils, instruments, and standards; and impedance-plane response.

The MFL Compendium: Articles on Magnetic Flux Leakage
The MFL Compendium: Articles on Magnetic Flux Leakage is a compilation of technical articles on magnetic flux leakage (MFL) drawn from ASNT’s monthly journal Materials Evaluation. The content offers real-world and laboratory-tested insight into the field of MFL. Students will find this publication to be an invaluable tool toward building an understanding of MFL while the seasoned technician will find the guide to be a useful reference document. The Compendium is one of the references used in the development of the ASNT NDT Level III examination for magnetic flux leakage and it is also cited as a training reference in the 2011 edition of ANSI/ASNT American National Standard CP-105.

Radiographic Film Image Scale — MOD.2-PL
Pocket-sized plastic scale to aid radiographers in the correct size identification of indications in pipe welds with outside diameters greater than or equal to 60.33 mm (2-3/8 in.). Can be used in conjunction with API 1104.

Industrial X-ray Interpretation
This classic reference has been brought back by popular demand. Contents: the theory and practice of X-ray interpretation for industrial purposes, advantages and disadvantages of using X-ray, radiation and high voltage safety, and many radiographs.

Hobart Institute of Welding Technology Welding Guide
