Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)-Welds

Blended E-Learning

Name Of Tutor

A highly practical course with relevant theoretical background enabling students to achieve a basic understanding of ultrasonic inspection. On completion of the course candidates will be able to calibrate a flaw detector with both compression and shear wave probes, record accurate thickness measurements and locate and size lamination in steel plate. In addition, students will be able to select the correct compression/shear wave probes for the examination of welded butt joints, locate and size defects and finally produce acceptable reports

This eLearning training is part of the ‘blended learning’ Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing – Welds; a mix of eLearning and in-class practical training followed by certification to EN ISO 9712. The online modules can be studied when and where it is most convenient and at your own pace.

The suite separates the learning of theoretical concepts from the practical application of the method, coupled with questionnaires focused on the theoretical principles and specific applications related to different product and industrial sectors.

 
In addition to the eLearning element of the Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing – Welds, students will then attend practical classroom training for 2 days followed by certification exam in our Training facility.
 

Note for candidates wishing to enrol on the PAUT – Welds blended learning course:
The e-learning modules require time to study. All students need to plan their study time and complete the online modules (including all assessments) before joining the classroom.

It is a mandatory requirement to issue access to the online material no less than 15 calendar days prior to the commencement of the in-class element of the course. There shall be no exception to this requirement, please plan your study to embrace this requirement.

Description

The  eLearning training course is divided in six modules:

  • Module 1: Ultrasound
  • Module 2: Phasing
  • Module 3: Steering
  • Module 4: Focusing
  • Module 5: Data Quality
  • Module 6: Review

Each module contains:
• Pages explaining the underlying theory.
• Videos explaining the theoretical and practical aspects of Phased-Array Ultrasound Testing,
  Silverlight interactive exercises in which the student can build a set-up, practice calibration and        scanning and learn to evaluate real data.
• A test section for self-evaluation

At the end of your online training phase, an online test will enable you to decide whether you are ready for the classroom element of the course, or if you need further time to study.

When you have booked your online training, you will receive an email notification with your login details. You will then have 60 days from first login to complete your eLearning course.
