Ultrasonic Testing Level I

Ultrasonic Testing Level I

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a highly effective nondestructive testing (NDT) method that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to inspect materials for flaws. Our comprehensive classroom training program is designed to equip students with the necessary qualifications and certifications to perform Ultrasonic Testing.

During the Ultrasonic Testing Level I classroom training, students will gain a deep understanding of the requirements and principles of UT. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics including UT equipment, operation, standardization, calibration techniques, discontinuity detection, and classification. Through a combination of classroom lectures and practical applications, students will develop a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles of Ultrasonic Testing.
