Ultrasonic Testing II
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level II is an extension of UT Level I and delves into the theory and principles to a much greater depth.
This course reviews fundamental UT topics and covers advanced subjects like beam profile, mode conversion, refraction, and attenuation. It includes calibration, various UT techniques, test evaluation, and accurate reporting.
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
This course meets the recommendations for training as described in SNT-TC-1A.
NOTE: There is RECOMMENDED READING assigned at the beginning of the course. The completion of these assignments in addition to self-study is strongly encouraged and will add to the overall training benefit and time to be credited. It will also better prepare the student for the practical lab/’hands-on” session. It is recommended that the student a log of the self-study time. It is also recommended that the applicable Level III be involved and confirm that the reading and self-study assignments have been completed. This should become a part of the student’s training records which may be used in conjunction with subsequent certifications.
