This course offers a high practical content and relevant theoretical background to enable students to achieve a basic understanding of ultrasonic inspection.
Candidates on completion of the course will be able to calibrate a flaw detector with both compression and shear wave probes, record accurate thickness measurements and locate and size laminations in steel plate. In addition students will be able to select the correct compression/shear wave probes for the examination of welded butt joints, locate and size defects and finally produce acceptable reports.
This course can be used to prepare candidates for the BGAS-CSWIP Ultrasonic Plate approval.
