A: Yes — operator portal integration via REST API + webhook. Free integration scoping.
Q7: How do I get started?
A: Free consultation; we reply within one business day. request a free consultation.
Q8: Atlantis NDT advantage?
A: Inspection-native + vertical templates + affordable + free retake-grade support.
Hours + Experience + Exam Map
Identify the exact certification scheme, method, level and sector. Confirm its current training, experience, examination and vision requirements with the employer or issuing body. There is no single hours table that applies to every NDT qualification.
Recertification Cycle Calendar
Record the expiry date and renewal requirements for each actual credential. Use the issuing body’s current guidance or the applicable employer written practice; do not infer the renewal route from a generic cross-scheme calendar.
ASNT vs ISO 9712 vs PCN — Cross-Recognition
Acceptance depends on the specified role, method, level, sector, employer authorisation and customer requirements. Obtain confirmation of the required credential before booking training or examinations; credentials are not automatically interchangeable.
Atlantis Academy Track + Free Retake-Grade Backstop
Pricing depends on region, scope, delivery arrangements and team size. Request a proposal that identifies what is included, what needs configuration and the support provided.
Damage Mechanisms (API 571 Cross-Reference)
API RP 571 enumerates damage mechanisms in refining + petrochem service. For marine + offshore, the dominant mechanisms include: sulfidation (API 571 §4.4.2), naphthenic-acid corrosion (§4.4.6), high-temp H2 attack / HTHA (§4.5.1), amine-stress corrosion (§4.5.4), sour-water cracking (§5.1.3), CUI / corrosion-under-insulation (§4.3.4), MIC / microbiologically-influenced corrosion (§4.3.8), erosion-corrosion (§4.2.14), and chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS (§4.5.1.4). Atlantis NDT Level III consulting (consult here) maps each circuit to its dominant mechanism + recommends method.
RBI per API 581 — Risk-Driver Decomposition
RBI per API RP 581 decomposes consequence + likelihood for marine + offshore equipment: (1) Generic Failure Frequency (gff) by component class; (2) Damage Factor (DF) per active mechanism; (3) Inspection Effectiveness Factor (A-E) based on prior inspection thoroughness; (4) Consequence — Financial + Safety + Environmental.
FFS per API 579 — When + Why
Where findings require engineering assessment, the responsible integrity team must define the assessment scope, necessary measurements and applicable methodology. Atlantis NDT can discuss examination evidence; it does not provide an engineering fitness-for-service assessment.
Atlantis NDT Stack Configuration for marine + offshore
Atlantis NDT delivers integrated stack for marine + offshore operators: Atlantis ERP (NDT reports, technician certificates, crew dispatch and equipment calibration), Digital Twin platform (3D asset model with overlaid damage-mechanism heat-map), Reporting Software (offline mobile capture with code-aligned templates), and Atlantis NDT LMS (continuous inspector cert refresh per marine + offshore-specific scope). Affordable, accessible, fully customizable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does this fit our vertical operational model?
A: Atlantis NDT delivers vertical-specific procedure packs + inspector cert rosters + asset-integrity playbooks. Free 30-min discovery call scopes your specific asset class + damage mechanisms + code requirements + delivery model preference.
Q2: How does AI-assisted defect detection get code acceptance?
Automation needs a documented scope, representative performance evidence and an agreed review process. Confirm whether the governing examination requirements permit the proposed technique. A software feature or general risk-planning standard does not establish code acceptance.
Q3: What is the typical implementation timeline?
A: Implementation typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff; larger multi-site rollouts are scoped during the demo. Atlantis NDT delivers phased rollout with clear milestone gates.
Q4: Does Atlantis NDT publish pricing?
Pricing depends on region, scope, delivery arrangements and team size. Request a proposal that identifies what is included, what needs configuration and the support provided.
Q5: How does Atlantis integrate with our existing stack?
A: Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Free integration scoping consultation.
Q6: How do I start?
A: Request a free 30-min consultation at /contact. We reply within one business day. We scope your asset class + damage mechanisms + code requirements + delivery model preference + integration needs in a single call.

For the people managing everyone else’s certifications
Tracking one certification is easy; tracking two hundred across five methods, with vision exams, on-the-job hours and client-specific approvals, is where inspection companies lose client audits. Certification tracking and the wider inspection management software guide cover how expiry warnings flag a technician’s certificate before it lapses and how double-booking is blocked at dispatch. There is also a free qualification and calibration register you can start using today.
