PMF 203 — Inspection (5 cr)
Apprentices will learn to utilize inspection tools and techniques to verify the quality of metal fabrication processes and products. Through lecture, discussion, and hands-on activities, the apprentices will gain experience evaluating sheet metal product dimensions, surface texture, coatings, material hardness, welds, threads and fasteners, assemblies, and manufacturing processes for quality. The apprentices will learn about calibration, layout, and measuring using a wide variety of precision tools and gages, such as micrometers, protractors, squares, calipers, and height gauges. This course also explores nondestructive testing technology, including dye penetrant testing, profilometers, and coordinate measuring machines. In addition, the apprentices will perform and document inspections using industry practices, such as first article inspection and statistical process control. (SCC)
