This class covers the first half of the 80 hours of phased array training required by SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 and includes overviews relative to all industries.
PA-102 (Advanced Phased Array for Weld Inspection)
This is a 40 hour class devoted to teaching the necessary principles needed to perform manual and encoded line scans of welds using the phased array technique. This class covers the second half of the required 80 hours of phased array classroom training as required by SNT-TC-1A and CP-189.
PA-103 (Advanced Phased Array for Code Compliance and Crack Sizing)
This is a 40 hour training class which is designed to take an in depth look at code quality examinations and evaluation. This class also covers advanced discontinuity sizing including the ever popular “Cave-man Crack Sizing” technique designed by J. Mark Davis.
PA-CAT (Paul Holloway- PAUT for Corrosion Under Pipe Supports)
PA- CAT is a phased array technique for assessing contact point corrosion at pipe supports on carbon steel piping. PA-CAT was developed by Paul Holloway of Holloway NDT and Engineering. University of Ultrasonics has partnered with Paul to deliver PA-CAT training to clients within the United States. Shane Walton with U of UT has developed the training material for the class, in collaboration with Holloway NDT.
PA-098 (Phased Array Data Analysis Training)
This is a 3 day class designed with the engineers, managers, and end users in mind. Attendees can expect to gain sufficient knowledge to understand the basics of phased array imaging and capabilities to assure quality and reliability for phased array projects performed for your company.
PA-TV (Olympus TomoView Advanced Acquisition and Analysis Training)
This is a 40 hour class designed for the expert user, which focuses on phased array data acquisitions and analysis using Olympus TomoView Inspection and Analysis software.
