Who can participate?

This advanced five day training course is designed for Level II, Level III and NDE Management and Supervisory personnel to learn the principles and advantages of the rapidly emerging phased array technology. The Course covers the history of industrial phased arrays, the principles, capabilities applications & advantages of phased arrays compared to conventional inspection instruments

End Benefits

At the end of the course, participants will be able to understand the concepts, application and usage of phased arrays and shall be able to generate their own inspection programs with phased array

Structured Class Room Training

During the five day course the practical classes will provide participants with considerable hands-on time. Structured lectures combined with practicals will help the participants to understand the concepts and application of Phased Arrays to set up their own scan plans in electronic scanning, sectorial scanning and beam steering for their tailored applications on different products/applications.
