NDTE 2401 - Advanced Ultrasonics

4 Credits (2 hrs. lec., 4 hrs. lab.) Emphasis on examination of components and characterization of flaws using advanced techniques. Prerequisite: None
Course Outcomes
1 - Write an ultrasonic test procedure to a code or standard.
2 - Demonstrate the effects of test-piece shapes, grain structure, types of discontinuities, and how their orientation affects ultrasonic testing.
3 - Use transducers, couplings, reference blocks, and instrument controls in the testing procedure.
4 - Perform maintenance checks on instruments to assure accuracy.
5 - Map transducer fields and test gain control.
6 - Check resolution and calibrate sensitivity.
