Course Description: 

This comprehensive, 40 hour ultrasonic testing course is designed for professionals aiming to achieve Level II qualifications, offering a combination of eLearning instruction and hands-on lab experience. Participants will delve into fundamental principles such as equipment calibration, defect detection, characterization, and data interpretation, with a strong focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of ultrasonic testing. 

Through various hands-on exercises, attendees will enhance their technical skills and confidence in using ultrasonic testing equipment. By the conclusion of the program, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and practical experience to advance their careers in nondestructive testing. 

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: 

  • Explain the basic principles and applications of ultrasonic testing  
  • Describe the qualifications and certifications applicable to Level I, II, and III personnel 
  • Define and differentiate between the various modes of sound waves, such as shear, Rayleigh, longitudinal, and lamb waves 
  • Describe the concepts of acoustical impedance, impedance ratio, refraction, mode conversion, Snell’s law, and critical angles within ultrasonic testing scenarios 
  • Recognize common ultrasonic testing equipment along with functionality of the test equipment 
  • Conduct instrument calibration, standardizing, and pretest equipment condition checks  
  • Explain the role and types of transducers in ultrasonic testing, along with transducer elements, frequency, selection, near/far field zones, beam spread, resolution, couplant usage, and the effect of frequency and diameter 
  • Describe the most used ultrasonic testing methods and the sub-techniques within them 
  • Interpret ultrasonic signals to determine the presence of defects such as cracks, voids, and inclusions  
  • Evaluate the quality of base materials such as ingots, castings, and composites, and assess their compliance with quality standards
