Jim Knowles

I have worked in NDT since 1969 when I started as a young Metallurgist and branched out into Non destructive testing. After achieving my ASNT Level II in 1973, I went on to achieve CSWIP 3.9 and PCN Level III. My work over the years has demonstrated the many difficulties that metals present in their make up, joining, ageing and geometry.
This has stood me in good stead for my research and development work, however, the most enjoyable aspect is the taking part and sharing my experiences with others.
Past Director of BINDT and now Director of ASNT NATL section.
