Course Description:
This course is designed to meet the industrial qualification
requirements for Ultrasonic Examination. This examination is used to detect
surface, subsurface, and internal discontinuities in many materials. Applications
include thickness gauging, flaw detection and evaluation, plus introduction
to angle beam and immersion testing. The training covers basic theory, test principles, products,
equipment operation and standarization, safety, operating procedures, applicable techniques,
applicable specificatios, codes, and written instructions used by the employer and interpretation of indications
as well as sufficient laboratory training. The course satisfies the training
hours needed for Level I certification in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, CP189,
and NAS 410, revision 2.
