Training Division - Kerala

METALSCAN INSPECTION SERVICES is an ISO certified organization established in 1998 at Chennai and has registered under small scale industries act. We have corporate partnership with American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT).
Metalscan Inspection Services exists as a Servicing, Consulting, Vendor Inspection, Training and Certifying organization in the field of Non-Destrective Testing. In Kerala, Metalscan Inspection Services focused in training for QA/QC Engineers as a training institute.
  • Our Vision
  • Our Mission
  • Values
  • Goal

Since long time, Kerala is one of the well known manpower resources for India as well as for the world especially in technical and industrial sectors. Availability of highly qualified, skilled and experienced professionals willing to work anywhere in the world earned this fame for us.

Now a day, fresh technical graduates require specialization and on-job experience to get better placement. Engineering works are also in the same track. Quality Control Department has a key role in engineering companies and NDT is an integral part of it. Unfortunately Engineers from Kerala have to depend industries in other states to develop their carrier in this sector because of inadequate opportunities in Kerala based Industries. We support candidates to overcome this limitation.

Training and Certification Programme

We believe that candidates trained by Metalscan Inspection Services will be competent for the service in the relevant industry because we provide class room training as well as on-job training opportunity at our work sites with latest equipment.

QA/QC Training

A Mechanical Engineering graduate involved in industrial construction needs specialization before he gets assignment as QA/QC Engineer. The quality control of industrial construction is usually done in accordance with International Quality Standards such as ASME, API, AWS, ANSI, ASTM, BS etc. standards. The sectors of specialization courses are:

  • Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
  • Welding Inspection
  • Coating Inspection
  • Piping Inspection
  • Tank Inspection
  • Pressure Vessel Inspection

Usually American or British courses are recognized in these sectors which are expensive (Please refer to our brochure for recognized certifications). Hence we are giving basic classes for fresh engineers in above segments which will help fresh engineers in their carrier development.

NDT Training and Certification

NDT is the use of noninvasive techniques to determine the integrity of a material, component or structure without impairing its usefulness which is an integral part of Quality Control in engineering. It confirms quality of materials such as structural beams, pipes, plates, valves, nozzles etc. used in construction of industrial equipments. It also confirms quality of fabrication and joining process where testing of welds is of major importance. Hence NDT is a major tool for QA/QC Engineers and QA/QC Inspectors to be specialized.

Design Engineer requires Expertise in CAD Production engineer requires Expertise in CNC Similarly
QA / QC Engineer requires Expertise in NDT

We conduct NDT certification as per the requirements of ASNT - SNT TC 1A 2006 and other standards.

Internship and Project Reporting

Since Metalscan Inspection Services is a servicing company we offer opportunity for engineering students to complete industrial internship with us and we assist them in development of project report which is a requirement towards end of engineering course.

NDT is an integral part of Quality Assurance and Quality Control activities. Usually, Mechanical, Aeronautical, Production and Automobile engineering makes use of non destructive testing. Internship in NDT will be highly supportive to engineering students looking forward to develop carrier as QA/QC Engineer. Principles, procedures and testing techniques of basic NDT methods are explained to candidates during this period. NDT certification will be an added advantage for engineering students who undergo internship with us.

Aeronautical Students from Vinayaka Missions University has already successfully completed their internship and project activities with us for the academic year 2012-2013.

Please contact us for more details in this regard.

Please note that there are recognized courses in some of the below sectors and our courses are not for the purpose of certification.

Familiarization of Codes and Standards

A Codes and Standard can be defined as a set of technical definitions and guidelines that function as instructions for designers, manufacturers, operators, or users of equipment. Fabrications of tank, pressure vessel, heat exchanger, reactors, piping, pipeline etc. for industrial projects are done strictly in accordance with standards. Hence QA/QC engineers should be familiar with the relevant codes and standards. Accordingly we have defined this course which will be a great support to fresh engineers looking forward develop carrier as QA/QC Engineer or QA/QC Inspector.

Drawing Reading

Drawing is the universal language of engineers and QA/QC engineers working in the project should be capable to understand below listed drawings and have to work accordingly.

  • P & ID
  • GAD
  • Instrument Drawing
  • Isometric Drawing

Usually drawings are done by the design engineers of the EPC companies and construction of the project are done as per the drawings.

Fundamentals of Quality Control

This course is designed in such a way that it will give a clear idea about Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) for the project. Moreover it will explain below duties and responsibilities of a Quality Control engineer.
