CSWIP - PAUT (Olympus OmniScan) Level 2 - C250

This course is designed for experienced ultrasonic NDT technicians looking to expand their knowledge and gain a qualification in manual and encoded phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT). The course meets or exceeds the training syllabus requirements of EN ISO 9712. This course aims to enhance the participant’s knowledge in topics related to the principles of phased array inspection and the effective use of phase array instruments. Technique development and verification prior to inspection are discussed in-depth during this course. Students will learn phased array instrument selection and calibration, variety of flaw sizing methods, and software data display options for final reporting. This course ends with a CSWIP certification examination. Successful graduates will be awarded a globally-recognized CSWIP certificate in Manual and Encoded Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing providing them with the accreditation for advanced NDT work.
