This programme is only available to holders of current PCN Level 2 Ultrasonic Practitioner Welds certification, which is applicable to at least two groups and held for at least 6 months.
The course was developed to assist the technician/ engineer in the sizing of defects to within a tolerance level commensurate with the capabilities of the ultrasonic method.
Originally designed to meet the objectives of the CEGB module: Defect Assessment for Fitness for Purpose Inspections – Ultrasonic Test Weld Samples. Now available as a PCN examination.
- Production of beam plots for relevant probes
- Practical examination of artificial simulations to assess plotting accuracy
- Discussion of relevant normative documentation including BS and EN standards
- Production of DAC and sensitivity levels
- Discussion relating to echo-dynamic patterns
- Reporting formats
- Practical defect sizing on a variety of weldments
- Scientific calculator
- Overalls/Lab coat
