Course Overview
After a review of the basics from the UT Level I course, this course presents variables such as beam profile, dead, near, and far zones; acoustic impedance; absorption; and scattering. The course also covers other subjects essential for performing angle beam inspection of welds, such as mode conversion, refraction, and attenuation. Calibration of the UT instruments is demonstrated, as well as the examination of several test specimens. Immersion and through transmission are discussed along with a variety of other techniques. Also presented are the evaluation and interpretation of test results, along with a focus on the need for complete and accurate test reporting.
Upon Completion, Learners Will Have Covered:
- Principles of ultrasonic testing
- Ultrasonic testing theory
- How to perform UT examinations
- Equipment used to perform UT
- Techniques used to perform UT
- Procedures used to perform UT
- Requirements of UT
- How to interpret and evaluate test results
