Detailed Answers (Verified Answers) Graded A+
(Brand New!!)
Question 1
According to ASNT SNT-TC-1A, what is the primary responsibility
of a Level II NDT technician?
A) Develop NDT procedures and interpret codes
B) Perform NDT setups, calibrations, and evaluations under
supervision
C) Only observe Level I technicians
D) Write final certification exams
Answer: B) Perform NDT setups, calibrations, and evaluations
under supervision
Rationale: Level II can set up and calibrate equipment, perform
1
,tests, interpret results, and report findings. Level III develops
procedures and is responsible for training and certification.
Question 2
Which NDT method is most sensitive to surface-breaking
discontinuities in non-ferromagnetic materials?
A) Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
B) Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
C) Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
D) Eddy Current Testing (ET)
Answer: B) Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
Rationale: PT detects surface-breaking defects in any non-
porous material, ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic. MT
requires ferromagnetic materials.
Question 3
The term "indication" in NDT refers to:
A) A confirmed defect
2
,B) A response from the test that requires interpretation
C) Only rejectable flaws
D) The calibration standard
Answer: B) A response from the test that requires interpretation
Rationale: An indication is a test response. It may be relevant
(caused by a discontinuity), non-relevant (geometry, surface
condition), or false (equipment or operator error).
Question 4
Which NDT method is best suited for detecting subsurface
discontinuities in thick ferromagnetic components?
A) Penetrant Testing
B) Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) with DC yokes
C) Ultrasonic Testing
D) Visual Testing
Answer: C) Ultrasonic Testing
Rationale: UT penetrates deep into thick materials, detects
3
, subsurface and internal flaws. MT is limited to surface and near-
surface (0.060–0.125 inch depth).
Question 5
According to ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NDT personnel certification
requires:
A) Only on-the-job training
B) Written practice, training, experience, and examination
C) A college degree in engineering
D) ASNT central certification only
Answer: B) Written practice, training, experience, and
examination
Rationale: SNT-TC-1A requires employer's written practice,
documented training hours, experience, and passing general,
specific, and practical exams for each method/level.
Question 6
Which NDT method uses the principle of capillary action?
