Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level-I Course

Training Course Objective :

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level-I CourseTo provide a basic knowledge of UT to enable a participant to carryout tests according to an established procedure under the supervision of a level II or level III personnel. The course is especially designed to provide a sound theoretical knowledge and practical skill for UT required for a Level I (1) technician

UT Level I Responsibilities :

To carryout operation as per written procedure/instruction from Level II personnel. He shall be able to set up the equipment, calibrate and carryout the tests, classify and report the results. He shall not be responsible for the choice of the test technique nor for assessment of the test results.
