About the Course
The Level 1 Tubing & Casing JSS® Thread Inspection class teaches the proper techniques required to successfully perform any API 5B mandated thread inspection. With specific focus on thread form, lead, addendum, crest diameter, taper and thread height, our unique hands-on approach guarantees the most effective training experience.
At the end of the day, participants are asked to inspect a part on their own and this final inspection serves as a test which evaluates their skills and knowledge for certification. Gagemaker will have all of the necessary gages, standards, and sample parts to use during the hands-on portion of this class. Class size is limited to 10 participants and the class is completed in one full day. Basic course materials include a Gagemaker Thread Inspection Participant Workbook, Tubing & Casing thread data chart, instructional Gagemaker posters and a certificate of completion. A Gagemaker Certification card is awarded to those who qualify and will be mailed out within a few weeks of course completion.
