NDT Courses
E-Learning

Ultrasonic testing or UT is one of the most common NDT techniques. This short course aims to act as an introduction to the exciting world of ultrasonic testing. The module provides a short briefing on the properties of waves, UT transducers, and how UT data is typically displayed.

The release of Capture 3.3 brings exciting new possibilities for the Gekko and Mantis. Unleash your instrument's power with this new training course covering every new feature of Capture 3.3, from multigroup TFM and multimode configurations to the new motion panel interface.

The LYNCS is a modular ultrasonic scanner allowing both weld inspection and corrosion mapping. This series of video tutorials will showcase the Eddyfi Lyncs scanner and demonstrate how to make the most of it.

The industry recommends using dual matrix and dual linear probes in Transmit-Receive Longitudinal (TRL) mode to overcome the challenges of heterogeneous materials. In this series of video tutorials, we will cover how to handle dual phased array probes.

Corrosion mapping is one of the main applications of phased array testing. With the release of the new R-Scan array scanner, it is now easier than ever. This series of video tutorials will cover the scanner’s main features and will show you how to tackle corrosion mapping with the capture software.

Time of flight diffraction, or TOFD, is a branch of ultrasonic testing that has changed the way we approach weld inspection. This course will cover the basic principles behind TOFD.

Capture 3.1 introduced new analysis tools which rendered the process easier than ever for PAUT/TOFD/TFM. This series of video tutorials will guide you through the analysis tools of Capture and Capture Pro, from defect sizing to customization of the reports, banners, and 3d views.

For most technicians, Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) is the first thing that comes to mind when advanced NDT is mentioned. This introduction covers the basic principles behind phased array testing along with some key applications for which PAUT is now the go-to solution.

ACFM is an efficient way to inspect carbon steel welds for surface breaking cracks. ACFM Array brings the method to a whole new level of efficiency. This training will explain how ACFM array works and how it can be used to make your inspection much faster and more reliable.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the greatest challenges facing asset integrity. Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) offers a great addition to any corrosion toolkit as it allows to quickly screen insulated steel for any corrosion. This short training will introduce you to PEC and to its basic principles.

This course will introduce you to the physics behind the Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) technique. ACFM utilizes electromagnetic to detect and size surface-breaking cracks in steel structures and welds without requiring the removal of coatings or marine growth.

Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing (GWUT) or Long Range UT (LRUT) is a screening method used to detect corrosion in pipelines. It is widely used for inspecting long lengths of pipe efficiently in terms of both time and cost. This training will introduce you to the physics behind guided wave ultrasonic testing.

Before Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL), finding and mapping pitting in carbon steel structures was a long and tedious task, especially in storage tank floors. This training will cover the basics of MFL, sensors, saturation and will introduce you to the Silverwing patented STARS technology.

TFM is widely regarded as the greatest advancement in phased array technology of the past few years. This online module explains what is TFM, how it works, and how it differs from conventional PAUT.

This online training will introduce you to electromagnetism, covering a variety of subjects ranging from the fundamentals of electricity to the generation of eddy currents in a piece of metal. This can be a great introduction for anyone interested in learning more about science.

The Gekko and Mantis systems are versatile tools that can easily be set up for everyday inspections. Creating the right setup allows for a seamless workflow from setup to report. This series of video tutorials will guide you through creating your PAUT/TOFD/TFM setups using the Capture software.

Remote visual inspection (RVI) extends the reach of the human eye. This course is meant to introduce you to the exciting world of robotics and remote visual inspection. It covers the theory of optics, light, lenses and sensors along with the different forms that RVI can take.

The SIMS PRO ECA module is dedicated to surface Eddy Current Array (ECA) inspections and focuses on high level analysis and reporting. This course is filled with tutorials covering everything from data stitching, to handling hundreds of indications, all the way to reporting.
