Phased Array II -16hr Hands on Training

This 16-hour Phased Array (PAUT II) Hands on course delivers the advanced, hands-on skills technicians need to confidently perform phased array inspections in real-world conditions. Building on Level I fundamentals, students receive in-depth instruction and practical application in advanced scan plan development, various focusing types and their specific uses, and an understanding of digitization rates and data resolution and how they affect inspection quality. Training includes interpretation of advanced phased array screen presentations, use of the merged B-scan, and detailed evaluation of weld flaw characteristics encountered in production and in-service inspections. Students also gain experience reviewing weld inspection data on external devices, applying different color palettes to support accurate interpretation and sizing, and performing both length and height sizing techniques. Emphasis is placed on zonal discrimination of weld flaws to ensure proper classification and evaluation. This course bridges the gap between theory and field application, delivering the technical judgment, practical capability, and confidence required for Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Level II inspections.

In this course, we cover:

• •Digitization rates
• •Merged B Scans
• •Various Focusing Techniques
• •Reviewing data on external devices (OMNI PC)
• •Using Various color palettes to aid in interpretation & Evaluation
• •Length and Height Sizing of Flaws

Upon completing this course, students will be able to:

• •Understand and apply appropriate digitization rates, recognizing how sampling, resolution, and data density affect flaw detection, sizing accuracy, and overall data quality in phased array inspections
• •Confidently use merged B-scan views to combine multiple data sets, improving flaw visualization, coverage verification, and evaluation of complex indications
• •and apply various phased array focusing techniques based on material, thickness, and inspection objectives to optimize sensitivity and flaw response
• •Review, analyze, and validate inspection data on external devices (OMNI PC), supporting detailed evaluation, reporting, and third-party review requirements
• •Apply different color palettes to enhance contrast, improve flaw interpretation, and support accurate evaluation and sizing decisions
• •Perform both length and height sizing of flaws, using phased array data to accurately characterize discontinuities and support acceptance or rejection decisions in the field

The course includes 16 hours of hands-on training. Upon successful completion, participants will receive 16 total hours of accredited classroom training and a Classroom Certificate, with knowledge assessed through an exam.
