Educational Kits

A set of miniature welds, macro sections and photoradiographs to demonstrate the principles of flaw detection, flaw interpretation and basic sizing.

Our educational kits can be made of four different materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and 3D printed resin. Our 3D printed resin kits weigh just 3.5kg, making them over 75% lighter than their carbon steel counterpart, and are easier to handle, transport and store. All educational kits are presented in a durable polypropylene

Our educational kits are recommended for:

  • Introduction to weld flaws
  • Demonstration of principles of flaw detection
  • Demonstration of typical flaw responses
  • Demonstration of principles of flaw interpretation
  • Basic flaw sizing

We have a choice of four materials for our educational kits:

  • Carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminium
  • 3D printed resin

Our educational kits suitable for the following methods:

  • Demonstration kit containing a specimen for each method
  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Magnetic particle testing
  • Penetrant testing
  • Visual testing
  • Radiographic testing

Each educational kit contains:

  • 10 miniature flawed specimens, each implanted with one flaw
  • Flaw location details
  • Testing and acceptance criteria
  • Photo-radiographs (where applicable) for each specimen
  • 10 macro sections
  • Magnifying glass
  • Certificate of conformance

We have seven different educational kit types to suit your needs, including:

1 tee and 9 plate specimens carefully selected from the visual, magnetic, penetrant, ultrasonic, and radiographic kits to provide an overview of flaw types and their detection using various non-destructive testing techniques.
