Ultrasonic Testing Welds (Pipe) -Level I

Our Ultrasonic Testing Welds (Pipe) - Level I course provides comprehensive training in the field of ultrasonic testing specifically for pipe welds. Ultrasonic testing utilizes high-frequency sound pulses emitted from a transducer, which is induced into the material through a probe in contact with the material. These sound waves propagate through the material and are reflected back to the probe when they encounter an interface. The reflected waves are transmitted back to a detector, displayed as signals on a monitor, and interpreted by qualified inspectors to accurately evaluate the internal structure of the material.

The reflected waves are transmitted back to a detector, displayed as signals on a monitor, and interpreted by qualified inspectors to accurately evaluate the internal structure of the material.

In the PCN certification scheme, Ultrasonic Testing is divided into three specific product sectors for certification purposes: welds, wrought products (forgings), and castings. The welds sector is further subdivided into groups, including plate butt welds, pipe butt welds, constructional "T" joints, nozzles, and nodes.
