Level 1 Ultrasound Course
This Level 1 Ultrasound Course has been designed for new users of the Ultraprobe and other ultrasonic instruments. However, much of the content is also appropriate for both potential purchasers, and those who require an in-depth understanding of measurement techniques and their applications.
This comprehensive five-day course - which is run in conjunction with UE Systems, and held at The National Fluid Power Centre in Worksop - covers the theory, principles and practices of ultrasound, and conforms to guidelines set by the American Society for Non-Destructive Testing.
A full list of course topics can be found below, but content includes: inspecting different types of leaks, monitoring mechanical equipment, and successfully working in noisy environments. There is also a strong emphasis on energy conservation (to help meet the challenge of rising energy costs), as well as practical exercises in the labs.
If possible, we would recommend that all attendees bring along their Ultraprobe, as well as a laptop (with any software installed). If this isn't feasible, then a limited number of Ultraprobes will be available during the course.
Dress code for the course is casual, and lunch and refreshments are included. There will also be information packs and course materials handed out during the week.
Course topics include...
Introduction to ultrasound: applications overview, basics of ultrasound, concepts and definitions, inspection equipment, overview of Level 1 certification requirements, recording and reporting results, and sound theory.
Leak detection: boilers, condensers, detection methods (pressure and vacuum), determining CFM loss and cost savings, gross-to-fine detection method, heat exchangers, liquid leak amplification, noisy environments, and shielding techniques.
Electrical inspections: combining infrared and ultrasound, confirmation methods, high and low voltage inspections, overview of electrical equipment, Radio Frequency Interference, safety considerations, and substation inspections.
Mechanical inspections: bearing monitoring, data logging, failure levels, lubrication monitoring, overview of mechanical equipment (fans, motors, pumps and valves), steam trap inspections, spectral analysis, and trending and troubleshooting principles.
Exam: a multiple-choice exam is held on the last day of the course, and those who pass will be awarded with their Level 1 qualification.
