Course Description: 

After a review of the basic UT Level I subjects, 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.

This self-paced course covers:

  • 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

This course meets the recommendations for training as described in SNT-TC-1A.

NOTE: Please note the contact hours being awarded for this course.  To meet the training requirements in SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, and NAS-410, the student must complete the eLearning course and the necessary practical lab/hands-on sessions. These lab sessions must be overseen and documented by a Level III to ensure the required training hours are fulfilled.
