Ultrasonic Testing - Critical Defect Sizing 
Description
This course is only available to holders of current PCN Level 2 Ultrasonic Practitioner Welds certification which is applicable to at least two groups and held for at least 6 months.

The course was developed to assist the technician/engineer in the sizing of defects to within a tolerance level commensurate with the capabilities of the ultrasonic method. Originally designed to meet the objectives of the CEGB module: Defect Assessment for Fitness for Purpose Inspections - Ultrasonic Test Weld Samples and now available as a PCN examination.

 

Course content:
  • Production of beam plots for relevant probes
  • Practical examination of artificial simulations to assess plotting accuracy
  • Discussion of relevant normative documentation including BS and EN standards
  • The production of DAC and sensitivity levels
  • Discussion relating to echo-dynamic patterns
  • Reporting formats
  • Practical defect sizing on a variety of weldments.
Pre-requisites for attending this course:
    PCN Level 2 Ultrasonic Practitioner Welds certification applicable to at least two groups and held for at least 6 months.
