Upon completion of this course, the student will have reviewed:
- Explain the basic principles and applications of ultrasonic testing
- Describe the qualifications and certifications applicable to Level I, II, and III personnel
- Define and differentiate between the various modes of sound waves, such as shear, Rayleigh, longitudinal, and lamb waves
- Describe the concepts of acoustical impedance, impedance ratio, refraction, mode conversion, Snell’s law, and critical angles within ultrasonic testing scenarios
- Recognize common ultrasonic testing equipment along with functionality of the test equipment
