Make Sense of Those Squiggly Lines
There is an aura surrounding some ultrasonic techniques. Many in our industry consider Ultrasonic Technicians as “black-box wizards” but that doesn’t have to be the case. Ultrasonic inspection does involve a bit more math than some other methods, but it doesn’t have to be hard—if you receive the right training.
Whether you’re looking to take thickness readings of piping or performing phased array testing, ND3 presents course material in a build-upon manner that simplifies the information and makes it easy to understand. We’ve been teaching and doing ultrasonic inspection for decades and can teach you what those squiggly lines mean.
Speaking of the squiggly lines, they all mean something, and their interpretation is key to understanding where the sound beam is. The A-Scan display is the heart of UT and, when you have a training certificate from ND3, you’ll know how to read the display.
