Ultrasonic Testing Training
UT Level I
Training Course objective
- To provide a basic knowledge of UT to enable a participant to carryout tests according to an established procedure under the supervision of a level II or level III personnel. The course is especially designed to provide a sound theoretical knowledge and practical skill for UT required for a Level I (1) technician
- UT Level I Responsibilities
To carryout operation as per written procedure/instruction from Level II personnel. He shall be able to set up the equipment, calibrate and carryout the tests, classify and report the results. He shall not be responsible for the choice of the test technique nor for assessment of the test results. - UT Level I Course outline
Properties of Sound Waves Generation of Ultrasonic waves Interaction of ultrasound with matter and boundaries Types of Probes Test Methods Test Equipment Instrumentation Test Variables Inspection procedures Types of Discontinuities - UT Level I Practical training
Complete calibration of ultrasonic flaw detection equipment for various types of transducers, Discontinuity Detection, Locating the flaw and Size Estimation Techniques.
UT Level II
Training Course objective
- The course is intended to provide through grounding in the principle of Ultrasonic Testing-UT and fundamentals of material and process such that the trainee would be able to Identify suitability of UT for the material and inspection technique Develop techniques and procedures that can be followed by a Level I operator Analyze the test result and document the same Be familiar with codes, standards and specifications for UT to evaluate results of the tests
- UT Level II Responsibilities
A certified UT Level II (2) personnel is qualified to
Select proper test technique, equipment and probes Set up and calibrate the equipment Perform testing and interpret the results as per applicable standards Have knowledge of the scope and limitations of UTBe familiar with production processes of the test material and knowledge of type and location of expected defects To develop UT technique for testing a particular jo Prepare test report for I. Accept ii. Reject iii. Rework Prepare written instruction for Level I Guide and check test results of Level I operators Responsible for care and maintenance of the NDT/UT equipment - UT Level II Course outline
