Phased array training at TWI with the Sonatest Veo
03/02/2011
TWI is expanding the range of equipment on which its manual and encoded phased array UT training can be delivered. With the addition of the Sonatest equipment, TWI offers a wider range of training resources to enable clients to use various manufacturers’ equipment, including the new ‘Veo’.TWI has always been able to deliver training on multiple equipment, including Olympus Omniscan, Sonatest Harfang and the AGR Focus Scan. This new addition to the range embraces the latest equipment developments from industry.
The generic material encompasses all makes of equipment, but during the practical phase candidates are given guidance on their respective equipment. This is facilitated by flow charts for set-ups, calibrations and the like, guiding students through the hands-on application. These aids are then gradually withdrawn during the course as the student’s ability and confidence increases.
The ability to provide training across a variety of equipment also allows candidates to see the advantages and limitations of the broad range of test equipment used by today’s industry, thus broadening the candidates’ knowledge and understanding.
