External Coordination (AI, TPI & Customer)- Coordinate on the shop floor with Client Representatives, Third-Party Inspection (TPI) agencies, and ASME Authorized Inspectors (AI) to facilitate NDE witness and hold points.
- Present calibration records, NDE procedures, and qualification certificates to external inspectors upon request and assist them during joint reviews or film interpretation sessions.
Equipment Calibration & Control - Perform daily verification and routine calibration of all NDE equipment (e.g., UT flaw detectors, yokes, light meters, densitometers) prior to use.
- Maintain updated calibration logs and immediately quarantine any defective or out-of-calibration instruments.
- Prepare, maintain, and control NDE calibration blocks and reference standards, ensuring proper identification, calibration validity, traceability, storage, and serviceability.
