Please elaborate your material testing training programs offered at your center in India?

TCR Engineering Services, Mumbai, India provides custom training programs for material testing, NDT and laboratory conduct. Our training program includes:

- Providing knowledge of various ASTM Standards and requirements of such standards. Letting students know of various requirements of tests under each standard so that they become aware of specification requirements.

- Imparting training to conduct various physical tests such as Tensile, 0.2% Proof Stress, Hardness, Charpy Impact, Bend, Flattening, Microexamination and Macroetch tests, including classes for preparation of various Physical test Specimen for Tensile, Impact test etc.

- In-depth exposure to various methods of Chemical Analysis. Please note that learning of Chemical Analysis, particularly by WET method, will in itself can be a separate program suitable for your Chemist. Most engineers only need to be aware of various methods, how they are performed and limitations of various methods.

- Additional courses for Non Destructive and Hydraulic Pressure Testing. Upon special cases we can arrange for training to ASNT level I and II as well.

The traing program typically lasts for 30 days at our lab and includes hands-on as well as project related assignments.

We recommend that minimum qualification for people going through this training should be a Degree or Diploma in Engineering. Additional experience in Mechanical Workshop can be useful.

Day 20: Chemical Analysis by Spectrometer & Sample Preparation
Day 21: Chemical Analysis by WET Method / Specification Matching
Day 22: Chemical Analysis by ICP / AAS Method
Day 23: Chemical Analysis by XRF (Positive Material identification Test)
Day 24: Chemical Analysis by XRF (Positive Material identification Test)
Day 25: Introduction to NDT Methods
Day 26: Ultrasonic Testing
Day 27: Ultrasonic Testing
Day 28: D P Testing
Day 29: Magnetic Particle Testing
Day 30: Introduction to X Ray Eddy Current Testing

Please note that this program will cover just an introduction to various tests methods and may not make a student perfect in all areas. This will definitely improve his overall knowledge and make him aware of different aspects of testing.

We do not have any class-room type program. All the training will be hands on training and you get all instructions while tests are being carried out. One can make his own notes during these procedures.

Do you conduct Training & Certification course (LEVEL-II) on UFD as per guidance (SNT-TC-1A) of American Society for NDT?

We routinely conduct training programs for ASNT Level II certification at the TCR Institute in Navi Mumbai, India. Please contact us for the next class schedule. Each class has a dedicated program with a minimum of 4 students. The course is for one week training plus ASNT Level II certification. This is a non residential program. Participants have to make their own arrangement for staying, transportation & food. The program will be at our Mhape, Navi Mumbai office.

The training program will consist of
- Introduction to Ultrasonic Testing (Theory)
- Various Techniques of Ultrasonic Testing
- Practical Training
- Discussions
- Level II Examination
- Certification
- You need to pay 50% fees in advance and balance by DD within 7 days of completion of program.
- We do have an exam to pass which can be considered as post training evaluation. Successful person will get level II certification

Can you give us an all inclusive programme for NDT Level I, II and III?

Thank you for your inquiry for NDT Level 1,2 and 3 Training Program. All courses are designed to impart practical knowledge that can be applied immediately to the outside world. These will provide engineers and technicians with the capability to improve their testing techniques, learn how to perform advanced tests, and help assure how to meet standards. From novice to an expert, courses are designed to learn more in the field of material sciences.

Training shall be conducted as per SNT-TC-1A standards, latest editions and TCR's training practice. Each NDT Level training program will cover Ultrasonic Testing, Radiography Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing and Liquid Penetrant Testing. Please meet us at http://www.tcreng.com/training/ for course details on each of the disciplines (RT, UT, MT and PT) at each level.

Courses are conducted in state-of-the-art facilities at our Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India location. The classroom is equipped with projectors and has provision to plug in your own laptops.

We can conduct Level I and Level II training program per your convenience. Our trainer will supervise Level I and II exam at the end of the course. A certificate will be issued to candidates who have successfully cleared the exam. Candidates will receive the certification one week after appearing for the exam.

Level III Certification exam will be conducted by ASNT at their center. This exam is scheduled for Nov. 23rd, 24th and 25th of 2006. So we will conduct Level III preparation training course just before the exam. In case you wish to have Level III Certification in selective disciplines (RT, UT, MT and PT) the charges will be US $1300 for the first discipline and US $300 for the remaining disciplines.

Travel expenses, accommodation and meals are not covered in the training fees. You are requested to bear these costs at actuals. Estimate for a twin sharing room, along with meals and transportation will cost you US $ 60 per person per day. TCR can provide discounted rates with a two star hotel close to our training facility in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. You may want to contact your travel agent to estimate air travel to Mumbai, India.

Please do not hesitate to email us should you require any additional information. In case you prefer a dialogue for ease of understanding we can schedule a con-call based on your availability to better assist you.

Can you train our employees in Saudi Arabia in making replicas for metallography?

In a order to create good replicas with defined grain boundary details we suggest sending our experts from India to Saudi Arabia (and elsewhere in the world) for a 5 day hand-on training session. Alternatively, we welcome students at the TCR Institute for Materials Technology for training on this subject as well.
