Ultrasonic thickness Gauging using high frequency sound waves is used for inspection of pipes, tubes and chimneys. Engineering pipes and structures after erection, needed to measure thickness for corrosion and wall thinning. Monitoring wall thickness of pipes and tubes is crucial to detect the effects of corrosion on boiler pipes and heat exchanger tubes. It also helps in estimating the remaining life of structures.
This limited certification course on ‘Ultrasonic thickness gauging(UTG) Level II’ gives comprehensive training on principles and knowledge of high frequency sound waves. Objective of this program is to perform thickness gauging according to an NDT (UTG) testing procedure. This technique is usually performed under the supervision of a level II or level III (ASNT SNT TC 1A or ISO9712) personnel.
ASME/ASTM/ISO and IBR Codes and standards mandates limited UTG Level II certification of personnel to carry thickness gauging. This course is especially designed to provide a sound knowledge and practical skills for carrying out inspection onsite and interpret the examination results.
