Unprecedented realism, from procedure to results: display the image of the shot from a database of thousands of simulated images.

Each exercise is built to include all the preparation phases: choice of IQI, and choice, positioning and orientation of the source.

Depending on the parameters, TraiNDE RT will draw the picture corresponding to the shot from a databank of several thousands of simulated images.

An optical density value in each point is available to ensure the appropriate darkening of the film.

A digital examination report summarizing the operating conditions, the observed flaws, their position can be completed by the trainee and sent to the trainer.

Practice time, number of trials and exercises performed are monitored.

PC or VR:

• A “PC” version available on a simple laptop like any software
• A “VR” version mixing the realism of a real immersive experience with the display of results on the computer

Remote or “In Class”:

Complementary to an “in class” usage, the “remote” option allows to deploy and use TraiNDE out of the training center. This feature is particularly suited for e-learning or blended training programs, where trainees will not or cannot stay in the training center for the whole cursus. This feature is also available for network deployment in large classrooms. The results of the performed shots are automatically retrieved on the “trainer server” to monitor trainees’ work nearly in real time.

In any case, trainers can prepare and adapt sessions contents in advance.

“Exam” or “Learning” mode:

In “Exam” mode, the number of trials is limited and the helping tools are blocked.

In “Learning” mode, you can perform as many trials as you want, and educational and assistance tools are provided to help the understanding. An error report is available directly after the shot to indicate potential errors, such as bad choice of IQI, erroneous physical parameters (voltage, intensity, exposure time, etc.), imposed geometric blur not respected, etc.

Inspected specimens:

• Welds with perpendicular, offset, contact,
  and panoramic techniques
• Cast parts
• Specimens in steel, aluminum, titanium, copper
• Flaws such as cracks, lack of fusion or
  penetration, porosity, inclusions…

Radiation choice:

Regarding the part to be inspected, the user will be able to choose to shoot from an X-ray or a Gamma source:

• X-ray source: charts are provided to determine the intensity and / or exposure time, depending on the material and thickness of the component.
• Gamma source: the current version includes an Ir192 source. Based on a general formula of the exposure time for such isotope, the trainee will calculate the exposure time requested to ensure a correct shoot with acceptable film darkening.

Essential elements:

For every exercise and before the shot, the user will have to prepare the component by choosing the relevant wires IQI and markers.

TraiNDE RT includes all the wires IQI from the NF EN ISO 19232-1 and ASTM E747 standards.
