Course Overview
This course is intended for UT technicians, NDT Level III's, NDT managers, and NDT managers.
Advanced technologies in ultrasound generation and data processing offer new opportunities for three-dimensional imaging of concrete structures. This course provides an overview of ultrasonic techniques enabling real-time imaging for quality assurance in the construction industry. The course shows how dry point contact transducers in a matrix array can be used with the total focusing method (TFM) to reconstruct a true three-dimensional tomographic image. The learner should come away with an appreciation of the advantages of true 3D ultrasonic tomography for improved information content of concrete infrastructure resulting in more efficient visualization and interpretation of data.
Upon Completion, Learners Will Be Able To:
- Explain how advanced ultrasonic inspection techniques are used to generate true three-dimensional tomographic images of concrete infrastructure
