COURSE DESCRIPTION
Phased array ultrasonic testing course provides the knowledge required to operate 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. It also includes requirements of
code & standards. 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
