Corrosion Detection and Monitoring - Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection (PAUT)
Provider TWI
Course description
This course will teach you the benefits, capabilities and limitations of advanced ultrasonic methods for the detection and monitoring of corrosion/erosion. You will also learn about establishing sensitivity required by code, standard, or client’s custom requirements, and identification of most appropriate system solution to meet this. The course also covers specific practical sessions in setting up 1Axis and 2Axis scanners for data acquisition, and understand the benefits of each, as well as the analysis of acquired data and sample files to recognise, identify, quantify and report accurate results.
- Gain corrosion specific certification in ultrasonic inspection using advanced methods.
- Better understand the principles of corrosion and material degradation.
- Be able to recognise the need for corrosion investigation.
- Be able to apply practical methods for testing and monitoring of corrosion.
- Appreciate the difficulties associated with corrosion inspection and control.
- Interpret the requirements of appropriate standards.
- Pass the CSWIP corrosion awareness examination.
- Gain a Corrosion Monitoring certification in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT).
- Knowledge of advanced ultrasonic methods.
- Knowledge of sensitivity required by code, standard or custom requirements.
- Data acquisition.
- Analysis of data.
This course will be of benefit to those working in ceramics as the course will provide an understanding of NDT methods used in wider material science applications and the techniques used. If you are working in ceramics and you have an interest in learning more about non-destructive testing, in particular advanced ultrasonic inspection (PAUT), then this course is for you.
The Corrosion Awareness - Advanced Ultrasonic Inspection course is for you if you are a:
- Level 2 Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspector (previous knowledge of plant/pipeline/vessel inspection would be an advantage, but not essential).
- Candidate wishing to have a greater understanding of corrosion and its detrimental effect on materials.
- Candidate who interfaces with NDT inspectors and want to gain a greater understanding of corrosion and ultrasonic phased array inspection.
