Lesson 3 - Low Voltage Holiday Detector
Objective
The objective of this training unit is to give a thorough understanding of the low voltage holiday detector.
The holiday detector may also be referred to as a pinhole detector or sponge detector.
The principal is the same for all types.
Lesson 4 - High Voltage Holiday Detector
Objective
The objective of this training unit is to give a thorough understanding of the high voltage holiday detector.
The high voltage holiday detector is also known as a spark detector.
Lesson 5 - Practical Arithmetic
Objective
The objective of this training unit is to give an understanding of arithmetic used throughout the coating industry.
The unit will review paint application (theoretical and practical) along with typical structure calculations allowing the user to estimate the paint quantities required for specific areas and locations.
Lesson 6 - Pre-Job Conference
Objective
The objective of this unit is to give an understanding of the requirement and importance to have a pre-job conference before undertaking a surface preparation and coating application contract.
Lesson 7 - Navigating Coating Specifications
Objective
The objective of this training unit is to understand the purpose and function of a coating specification, the various methods in which coatings are specified for use, the basic components of a coating specification and locate the inspection check points in a coating specification.
Lesson 8 - Inspection Plans
Objective
The objective of this unit is to review the requirement for inspection plans used on protective coatings application contracts.
The inspection plans also termed, the inspection and test plan, are commonly used for pre-planning the inspection and check points during surface treatments.
The inspection plans also help streamline the understanding of inspection activities detailed in some coating specifications.
