ASNT Welcomes You tothe 16th Annual ResearchSymposium at theOrlando Wyndham Resortin Orlando, Florida

ASNT invites you to get involved with the Society by joining theASNT Research Council. By volunteering, you have the opportunityto enhance ASNT and impact the Research Council’s activities.

Recertification InformationRecertification points are required to apply for ASNT Level III certification renewal.

Attendance at any of the research program’s technical sessions earn ASNT Level III

recertification points at the rate of 1 point per 6 contact hours under the 6-point system

and 1 point per 3 contact hours under the 25-point system. To document your time in

these sessions use this on site program to record your attendance. For personnel

renewing prior to 1 May 2009 under the 6-point system, the point value per presentation

is the lower value shown. For personnel renewing after 1 May 2009 under the 25-point

system, the point value per presentation is the higher value shown. Each presentation

you attend will need a signature from the session chair or session monitor. Credit will

only be given for one paper per time slot.

Attendance at the Short Courses earn ASNT Continuing Education Units (CEUs) at the

rate of 1 point per 4 contact hours. CEU fees are included in the course fees. All

required documentation for these CEUs will be provided at the course.

All point amounts are subject to the approval of ASNT’s Technical Services Department.

If contact hours are not met as scheduled fewer points may be awarded. Proper

documentation is required to receive points. For more information on recertification or

CEU’s, visit our website at www.asnt.org, or contact ASNT Technical Services Department

at 800/222-2768 for the US & Canada and 614/274-6003 for all other callers.

Short Courses will be held in Oleander A

Monday 26 March8:30 am-12:30 pmEddy Current TestingHussein Sadek, Technologies ConsultingInternational, Inc.

This course will cover the basic principles,theory, instrumentation, applications andpersonnel qualifications for Eddy Current Testing.

Who Should Attend: The course is designedfor Level II and Level III technicians, Engineersand NDT managers. This course could also bebeneficial for individuals in the businessdevelopment and marketing of NDT servicesand equipment sales.

Wednesday 28 March 1:00-5:00 pmIntroduction to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)James Cook,MALA,USA Inc.; D.Welch,Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.

The attendee will see how GroundPenetrating Radar (GPR) can be used forseveral applications and how it is anemerging technology in the NDT world. Theattendee will learn how GPR can be used inplace of or in conjunction with ConcreteRadiography and ultrasonic testing systems(UT) to produce confident results. And, theattendee will be taught how GPR may notwork as well as other NDT technologies forcertain applications.

The main goal for this educational experienceis to teach the attendee the limitations andadvantages of GPR. By the attendee learningthe limitations and advantages he/she will beable to identify when to use GPR and whennot to use GPR. All GPR users need to learnhow to determine GPR suitability and to usethe right tool for the right job. This will helpmarginalize liability issues and improvequality of the work executed by the NDT firm.

Who Should Attend: The course is intendedfor all NDT professionals who are interested inGPR and how it can be integrated into a NDTbusiness. The course is helpful especially toNDT professionals who may haveencountered a need for locating rebar,tension cables, electrical conduits, and otherobjects inside concrete floors, walls orceilings. Attendees will learn several GPRapplications and techniques that can savetime and money when it comes to locatingembedded objects in concrete structures orlocating utilities under the ground.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn aboutthe basics of probability of detection methods,discover how reliability analysis tools havedeveloped to address the ever-changing dataacquisition approaches and new methodsbeing used by the NDE community, and seehow these tools are applied first-hand toinspection examples.

POD Tutorial – Part I - Dealing with Hit/Miss DataProbability of detection (POD) is animportant engineering metric for theinspection community. Various aspects ofthe POD calculation may be used to makechoices between inspections forimplementation, to qualify an inspectionmethod, inspection system or inspector, or to support life management calculations.The origins of POD studies go back to theuse of the “29 out of 29” simple approachwhich was soon replaced with “hit-miss”analysis. The hit/miss method is often usedin cases where quantitative measurement ofthe signal response is not feasible, such aswith penetrant testing or magnetic particletesting. The data is binary in nature, eitherthe flaw is detected (hit or 1) or missed (0).The first presentation will cover basicdefinitions used by the POD and reliabilitycommunities, review the hit/miss analysismethod, and the logistics model typicallyused in this analysis method. A discussion of maximum likelihood methods will be included.

POD Tutorial – Part II - Review of Ahat vs A Data StrategiesIn most modern inspection methods, it ispossible to measure the signal response for a given flaw which provides considerable leverage in analysis of POD.In the “ahat vs. a” analysis method, the signalresponse is denoted by “ahat” and somerelevant characteristic of the flaw, typicallylength, depth or area, is denoted by “a”.This analysis approach has been in activeuse since the 1980’s and is well-documentedin MIL-HNBK 1823. The use of regressionmodels will be reviewed includingexplanations of left (responses below the noise floor) and right (saturatedresponses) censoring.

POD Tutorial – Part III - Advanced Data Analysis Methods for PODIn many instances the use of POD methodsis straightforward and relatively easy toimplement. However, complications oftenarise when dealing with real data,particularly when the data is from field finds.Recent results from a “field finds” examplewill be presented along with a series ofsimulations that show the importance of therole misses play in POD analysis. Discussionwill include the influence of left and rightcensoring and the use of truncation. Inaddition, recent experience with advancedtopics in empirical POD will be discussedincluding bivariate regression models, errorsin flaw sizing, and the impact of multiplesources of variability in NDE inspection.

POD Tutorial – Part IV - Practical Considerations in Empirical POD Study DesignIt is often desired to validate the application of an NDE technique to a newinspection process. The application of a new NDE inspection process will include the development of written procedures and may also include developing a trainingprocess. Validation of such a process needsto address these elements in order toprovide a basis for improvement.The same can be said for understanding and characterizing an existing inspectionprocess. Addressing such issues and otherspecific concerns requires experimentaldesign concepts to be applied in thegathering of data. These practicalconsiderations will be discussed through the presentation of examples.

POD Tutorial – Part V - Summary of POD Study ResultsResults of past POD/validation studies that included elements beyond that ofestimating a POD curve will be discussed.The common thread in the several studies is that elements of specific concern weredesigned into the data gathering thatenables the characterization of the NDE process beyond a single POD curve summary.
