COURSE DESCRIPTION

Phased array ultrasonic testing course provides the knowledge required to operate equipment and perform manual & encoded phased array testing on welds. The course covers theoretical aspects on phased array application, its advantages and limitations, application of phased array. It also includes requirements of code & standards. The course also covers in depth practical aspects for application of Phased Array on welds in Pipes & Plates using required accessories such as calibration blocks, validation samples, encoders, scanners etc. For this course we strongly recommend participants possess hands on experience in UT weld examination as Level II or Level III qualification. Our course structure is compiled based on the guidelines established in PCN/GEN Appendix E9
