August D1.8/Advanced UT
We’ve added D1.8 testing to our calendars for August 31st, this will be at our Vancouver WA office.
There will be a 40 hr Advanced UT class from August 27-30 at the same location.
This class will cover:
Equipment: Review equipment and instrument settings for practical application
Codes: Review AWS / ASME codes for equipment, calibration and acceptance.
Instrument Qualification: Horizontal, vertical linearities and dB accuracy cal.
Production calibration: Perform calibrations per ASME and AWS codes
Special Applications: Transfer correction and through transmission techniques
Scan Plan: Testing approach based upon joint design and typical flaw locations
Flaw Detection: POD (probability of detection) angle, approach and scan faces
False Indications: Backing bars, gel signals, redirection (mode conversion).
Flaw characterization: 2D / 3D: Planar, cylindrical & spherical. Joint design critical
Flaw characterization Cont.: Plates with known flaws & identification of signals
Flaw Sizing: Code requirements, advanced techniques: tip diffraction etc.
Weld Joints: UT approach to tee, corner, butt & skewed plate & tubular joints
Weld Joints Cont.: Dissimilar materials and thicknesses, thin material & long seams
Production Scanning: 100+ test samples mixed between natural / artificial flaws
This class requires preapproval so contact us for more information.
