OES (optical emmision spectroscopy)

Date 02-13-2015 22:20

Okay this isn't related to welding but, it is testing has anyone on this forum dealt with, OES testing before and if so do you know what training is needed to operate one of the machines. Would you need a LEVEL 2 NDT certification in order to be using a spectrometer?

sorry for posting this in here but ive tried calling companies and they honestly haven't informed me of anything, so i figured next best place to look for info would be u guys :grin:

Welcome.

Good question. I would expect the manufacturer provides training on the proper use and general maintenance of their equipment. I would also recommend looking into training offered by ASM.

Turns out there is no certification required in order to operate an OES testing machine. There are training courses offered but no standards saying you need any level of NDT.

Hey Goldy, I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if you have tried the OES out. There are alot of them on the market and we are looking to purchase one. Looking for insight/ideas pros/cons on them.
Thanks
