Advance Phased Array Testing using Omni-Scan (CODE: AS102)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The advance phased array course provides the knowledge required to operate Omni scan equipment and perform manual & encoded phased array testing on welds. The course covers theoretical aspects on phased array application, its advantages and limitations, application of phased array per code requirements (ASME code case 2235, B31.3 code case 181, AWS D1.1, API etc). The course also covers in depth practical aspects for application of Phased Array on welds in Pipes & Plates using required accessories such as calibration blocks, validation samples, encoders, scanners etc. For this course we strongly recommend participants possess hands on experience in UT weld examination as Level II or Level III qualification. Our course structure is compiled based on the guidelines established in PCN/GEN Appendix E9.1 (Click this link to view this document www.bindt.org/downloads/E9.pdf )
