Processing Personnel: Trained persons are required to control the necessary parameters during processing.

If an indiviual is directly certified to Level-II with no time at Level-I then required expirence is sum of time for Level I & level II and required training hours is sum of level I & level II Training hours can be adjusted depending on qualification as described in employer's written practice i.e. grammar school college graduate in engg etc. Initial experience may be gained simultaneously in two or more methods, if he spends 25% work time for those methods and remaining in NDT related activities defined by the employer's written practice.

Recommended training hours in a particular method are listed as function of candidate's education (not experience) Eye Exam can be done by NDT Level III or some body designated by NDT Level III. No practical exam for Level III Basic & method exam Candidates must spend at least 25% time or work in each method so the credit is gained simutaneously in two or more discipline (keep continous record by hours to show 25%) NDT Level III certified individual by employer (may or may not be ASNT NDT Level III)

MATIC AND MANUAL FILM PROCESSING Manual Film Processing Manual Process: Exposed films are manually put into the developer, stop bath and fixing tanks. Standard Processing Cycle: It takes 60 minutes in processing a radiographic film in automatic processing.

Capacity (60 min. Cycle): 10cmx48cm =40 films/hour.

Processing Chemicals: 800 films are normally developed from 1 set of fixer and developer.

Processing Personnel: All the concerned persons performing radiographs are normally able to develop the radiographs.

Person may be qualified directly to level II with no time as certified level I, porvided the training time and experience consists of the sum of hours for level I and level II Training hours is fixed (not based on qulaifictaion).

Required experience shall be documnented in the method by hours with supervision or NDT Level II approved. Experience may be gained in more than one method but minimum hours must be met for each method.

ADDITIONAL Interpretation - Determination, whether indications are relevant. Evaluation - Determination of significance of a relevant indication. Recommended training hours are independent of individual's education. (Are fixed) Eye Exam administered according to a procedure by personal approved by NDT level III designated by employer Level I, II, III (education is not must) Level III exams has practical & demonstration.
