Total Focusing Method (TFM) Level 2

Course Description:

Welcome to the Total Focusing Method (TFM) Level 2 advanced course, designed by ASME Section V and 2020 SNT-TC-1A. This course aims to provide theoretical knowledge and hands-on training using the latest equipment for TFM.

The course syllabus covers the following topics:

General Theory:

• Overview of PAUT and FMC data collection

• Beam forming and resolution

• Amplitude fidelity, interface/dead zones, and calibration

• Sensitivity correction

• Corrosion mapping

• FMC characteristics (direct modes and bi-modal techniques)

• Plane Wave Imaging (PWI)

• Understanding the various modes used in TFM and the benefits of enhanced detection, characterization, and sizing

Specific Theory:

• Inspection of vertically angled joint faces

• Evaluation and examination including display settings, flaw characterization, flaw dimensioning, and software tools

• Weld and corrosion examinations including single V and double V welds

• Practical use of TFM phased array applications for austenitic stainless-steel and ferritic steel weld inspection

• Hands-on practical testing on a wide range of samples using the latest technology equipment, such as the M2M GEKKO and the Omniscan X3.

The Level 2 advanced course will be 80 hours long, consisting of 9 days of training and 1 day for examination. The course will cover both the theory and practical aspects of TFM.

To be eligible for this course, candidates must hold UT Level 2 Welds PCN or SNT certification. It is recommended that candidates have an understanding of PAUT.

Enroll in this TFM Level 2 advanced course to expand your knowledge and enhance your skills in TFM testing.
