You will experience an in-depth training on the advanced Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) technique, widely used for high-precision weld inspection and corrosion mapping, in line with international industry standards.

This advanced training combines theory and practice to give you full command of the Phased Array technique, one of the most powerful tools in modern ultrasonic testing. You will learn how to set up, execute and interpret PAUT inspections independently.

In this training, you will focus on:

• Understanding Phased Array principles and beam steering techniques.
  Setting up and calibrating the PA system for weld examinations and corrosion mapping.
  Collecting and storing Phased Array data scans.
  Editing, analyzing, and evaluating PAUT data.
  Drafting work instructions suitable for Level 1 personnel.
  Interpreting and assessing results in compliance with industry standards.

As a Level 2 PA-certified professional, you will be fully qualified to perform, asses and report on Phased Array inspections independently and in line with approved procedures following industry regulations.

Who should take this course?

This course is designed for NDT professionals seeking to specialize in high-precision ultrasonic inspections. It is suited for:

• Certified or Level 2 technicians who want to expand their skills in Phased Array
  NDT inspectors and quality control specialists involved in weld and corrosion evaluations
  Engineers and supervisors involved in structural integrity and asset management
  Industry professionals in oil and gas, aerospace, power generation and manufacturing who require advanced inspection techniques.

Certification and examination

If you pass the exam – and meet the additional requirements – you can obtain an internationally recognized ISO 9712 PA Level 2 certification. This qualifies you to independently carry out Phased Array inspections according to international standards.

KTN Belgium is a certified examination center, recognized by Hobéon SKO to conduct ISO 9712-compliant Phased Array examinations.
