Liquid Penetrant Testing

Ultrasonic Testing - Level 2
Course Description :

This course provides the student with 40 hours of Level 2 training in the Ultrasonic Testing method designed around the aerospace industry requirements. This course is designed to cover ultrasonic inspection of a wide variety of product forms. The laboratory portion of the course will train the student to be able to identify waveform characteristics of various material defects and enable them to develop and apply techniques in accordance with customer/industry specifications and standards. Students will also be introduced to hands on training in the immersion technique of the method. Prerequisite: Level 1 UT Training Course.

Applicable Standards and Documents :

This training program was developed to meet commercial and customer requirements to include: ASNT-TC-1A; ASTM E-165; ASTM E-1417 AWS; ASME sect V.

Level I & Level II
