PQT Services Company offers “outside NDT Level III” services that include: personnel qualification services, procedure development and review, third party overview, witness and problem resolution.

NDT Level III Consulting

Personnel qualification services include documentation review, training and qualification examinations for all levels of qualification.

Documentation review is performed to assure education, training, experience and qualification examinations meet your code, specification and customer requirements.

Written general and specific examinations meeting your code, specification or customer requirements for each NDT method can be developed and administered in accordance with ASNT Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189 and/or NAS410.

Procedure development and review can be outsourced to relieve the burden of finding the dedicated time needed to accomplish such tasks. Industry experience combined with extensive involvement with ASNT and ASTM standards development ensures document(s) acceptable for use by your NDT personnel and to your customers.

Third-party overview, expert witness and problem resolution is a valuable resource to ensure expected results and reduce conflict. Outsourcing the overview or witnessing of quality activities is cost effective in assuring that specification requirements have been met. Third party services provides a qualified, objective evaluation for problem resolution that is usually acceptable to clients and reduces the potential conflicts of direct involvement with customers. Independent reviews are valuable to support critical decisions. Recommendations will identify significant opportunities for improvement. An extensive background with ASTM, ASNT and the nondestructive testing industry provides internationally recognized expertise. Expert witness consulting for nondestructive testing offers technical interpretations, opinions and research services.
