Training Schedule
Ultrasonic Testing Level I - 40 Hour
March 15, 2010 to March 19, 2010
Ultrasonics courses are conducted several times a year and cover the material recommended by ASNT SNT-TC-1A. Instructors are highly experienced in the ultrasonic method and skilled at conveying the course material in a manner that makes complex principles easily understood. The material covered includes the following general subjects in addition to specific techniques applicable to field operations.
- Basic Principles of Acoustics
- Ultrasonic Equipment
- Instruments, transducers, couplants
- Basic Testing Methods
- Contact, immersion, straight beam, angle beam
- Calibration
- Examination to Specific Procedures
- Straight Beam and Angle Beam Examination Procedures
- Evaluation of Materials
- Ingots, Plate, Bar, Pipe, Forgings, Castings, Composites, Welds
- Discontinuity Detection
- Sensitivity, Resolution
- Sizing and Location of Discontinuities
- Evaluation of Discontinuities
- Comparison to Procedures and Specifications
- And much more
Ultrasonic examination is used for materials evaluation, weld inspection, thickness gauging and a host of other applications. The courses discuss these applications in manual and automated modes in conventional and phased array techniques.
