RE-CONFERENCETUTORIALI - 2D/3DRADIOLOGICALIMAGINGANDAPPLICATIONS2021&BEYOND
Radiography, due to its direct imaging capability is considered one of the most powerful Non-DestructiveEvaluation methods worldwide for various industrial applications. There has been atremendousenhancementin the defect detection and characterisation capability of thismethod in the past few decades, due to the introduction of smaller sources and advanceddigital imaging systems. Applications of Digital Radiography which offer many advantages overfilm radiography, are growing in various industries. This pre-conference tutorial aims to providetheparticipantswithanin-depthunderstandingoflatestadvancesinDigitalRadiography.

PRE-CONFERENCETUTORIAL2
RECENTADVANCEMENTS
INACOUSTICS&ELECTROMAGNETIC NDE&APPLICATIONS
The developments in sensors, electronics and computers have brought a paradigm shift in thefield of acoustic and electromagnetic NDE techniques in recent time. The results are now morepresented in form of composite images providing comprehensive information about thecomponent under inspection, rather than merely the individual oscilloscope or impedance-planesignalsatspecificlocationsasinthepast.Withimprovedmethodologiesandtechniques, not just the resolution and sensitivitieshave been improved for the existingapplications, new applications have been realized now which were considered impossibleearlier. The enhanced modelling and simulation platforms have helped in better planning andvisualization of the NDE phenomena. Similarly, applications of machine learning and artificialintelligence in the field of ultrasonic and electromagnetic techniques have paved path forautomaticanalysisandhelping indecision making inindustrial applications.
This pre-conference tutorialwill expose the participantsto the recentdevelopmentsin the fieldof ultrasonic and electromagnetic NDE techniques.The basicsof these advanced techniqueswill be covered by eminent researchers and academicians in the field, and the case studies willbediscussedbypractisingengineers.
ThebroadtopicscoveredinthisPre-conferencetutorialinclude:
Overviewofrecentadvancementsinultrasonicand electromagnetictechniques
- Basicsofphasedarray ultrasonictesting(PAUT)techniques
- Total focusing method based PAUT Techniques

PRE-CONFERENCETUTORIAL3
Codes & Standards
Codes and Standards are vital for maintaining superior and consistent quality throughoutmanufacturing of engineering components and structures. Applying codes and standards inmanufacturingcan help to ensure that products and services are consistent, compatible, safeand effective in delivering the right quality to the needs of customers. Today, products areassembled from components made in different organizations and countries, and are thensupplied around the world, therefore codes and standards are more important than ever.Codes and Standards are developed by various organizations such as ISO, IS, IBR, ASTM,ASME,API,SAE,AWS,BS,ENandmanyothers.
The objective of the tutorial is to understand and interpret codes and standards pertaining toNon-Destructive testing and Quality Control. Experts with ample experience in using codes andstandards from various sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & gas, Space, Boilerand pressure vessel, Welding Fabrication, Castings, Forgings, cross country pipelineconstruction, engineering, nuclear components manufacturing will deliver the tutorials andsharetheir experiencesonhowtointerpret latestcodesandstandards.
This unique pre-conference tutorial is quite useful for practicing NDT professionals, researchassociates,quality professionals, design engineersand almost everyoneconnectedwith NDTto learn, understand, interpret and gain knowledge about the latest international codes andstandardsrelatedtoqualityandNDT.
