Objective:
Ultrasonic Testing - Level I, Classroom NDT training course is developed to meet the requirements of ASNT SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, and other equivalent standards, as well as customer-specific written practice, for training and certification of personnel in this method of Non-Destructive Testing.
After completion of the Ultrasonic Testing - Level I classroom training course, you will get in-depth knowledge of Ultrasonic Testing principles, sound waves, attenuation of sound, transducers, equipment, and application of Ultrasonic Testing techniques to test various product forms.

Training Examination & Certification Requirement:
During this Ultrasonic Testing Level I class, you will give General theory, Specification, and Practical examinations. You'll need to successfully pass these three examinations with a minimum of 70% grading in each examination, and the average grading of all three examinations should be 80% minimum, according to the requirements of ASNT SNT-TC-1A 2024.

OJT Hours: As per the requirements of ASNT SNT-TC-1A, you need to have a minimum of 210 Hours of on-the-job training (OJT) after completion of training classes for certification in this method.

Basic Principle of Ultrasonic Testing
In ultrasonic testing, high-frequency sound waves are transmitted into a material to detect imperfections or to locate changes in material properties. The most commonly used ultrasonic testing technique is pulse-echo, in which a sound pulse is introduced into a test object, and reflections (echoes) are received by a receiver from internal imperfections or the part's geometric surfaces.
