Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level-I Course

Training Course Objective :

To provide a basic knowledge of UT to enable a participant to carryout tests according to an established procedure under the supervision of a level II or level III personnel. The course is especially designed to provide a sound theoretical knowledge and practical skill for UT required for a Level I (1) technician.

RT Level I Responsibilities :

To carryout operation as per written procedure/instruction from Level II personnel. He shall be able to set up the equipment, calibrate and carryout the tests, classify and report the results. He shall not be responsible for the choice of the test technique nor for assessment of the test results.

RT Level I Course outline :
Properties of Sound Waves
Generation of Ultrasonic waves
Interaction of ultrasound with matter and boundaries
Types of Probes
Test Methods
Test Equipment
Instrumentation
Test Variables
Inspection procedures
Types of Discontinuities
UT Level I Practical Training :

The course is intended to provide through grounding in the principle of Ultrasonic Testing-UT and fundamentals of material and process such that the trainee would be able to.
