This five day course is designed to introduce engineers, managers, and inspectors to the principles of ultrasonic phased arrays. The course details the history of industrial phased arrays, the principles of phased arrays and digital instruments, an introduction to the Olympus OmniScan portable phased array unit, and several sample applications. The attendees will work through hands-on exercises illustrating the capabilities and imaging of phased arrays from prepared application files; some individual set-ups may be possible. Typically, two attendees will share the use of an OmniScan unit. We recommend that participants be well versed in standard industrial ultrasonic theory in order to gain the maximum benefit from the course material. |

The Olympus OmniScan Phased Array & TOFD course provides the knowledge required to effectively examine a variety of materials and components. Our hands-on approach to practical exercises is complemented by access to a selection of engineered and actual flaw samples. The TOFD capabilities of the OmniScan will be examined in detail, with emphasis on technique development and ASME code case 2235 implementation. We recommend that attendees have attained Level 2 or 3 certification in industrial ultrasonics and have a working knowledge of the OmniScan instrument prior to attending this course. |

The Zetec Zircon Phased Array and TOFD course enables students
to recognize the full potential achieved using both PA and TOFD
methods. Practical exercises access a selection of engineered and
actual flaw samples. The PA and TOFD capabilities of the Zircon
instrument will be examined in detail, with emphasis on technique
development and ASME code case 2235 implementation. We
recommend that attendees have attained Level 2 or 3 certification
in industrial ultrasonics and have a working knowledge of the Zetec
UltraVision software/instrument prior to attending this course. |
