ASME BPV Code, Section V: NDE Procedures and Personnel

This training course provides detailed insight into ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section V, specifically focusing on Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) procedures and personnel qualifications. Participants will study critical elements of Section V, including its scope, the relationship to other BPV Code sections, and practical methods for implementing NDE within a quality assurance framework. The course covers key NDE methods—such as Radiographic Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), and Eddy Current Testing (ET)—and addresses essential variables, procedure development, personnel certification, acceptance standards, and quality management principles. Case studies and practical scenarios are included to bridge theory with industrial applications, enabling participants to directly apply their knowledge to improve inspection reliability and compliance.
