GE’s Ultrasonic Testing Level I course is designed to teach both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the Level I technician. Upon completion, the student will be able to set up equipment, calibrate, and perform tests according to recognized procedures under the supervision of Level II or Level III technicians. GE's Inspection Academy provides significant lab time learning with the instruments, more than in comparable courses taught elsewhere. Topics include:
Ultrasonic theory
Instrument operation
Inspection parameters
Thickness testing
Straight beam flaw detection and sizing
Calibration techniques for straight beam, dual element, delay-line, and angle beam transducers
This 40-hour course meets the criteria of ASNT SNT-TC-1A, 2011 issue.
