ToFD

Course Content:
ToFD theory and principles of diffraction, ToFD hardware (pulsers, receivers, motor control, encoders), ToFD data acquisition and interpretation, ToFD techniques, ToFD applications, equipment selection, calibration and optimisation, optimising PCS and angles, flaw location and sizing, limitations of detection and resolution, codes and standards, reporting.

Objectives:

• to understand the theoretical background and limitations of ToFD applications
• to correctly select probe/wedge to examine welded butt joints
• to calibrate and set up the ToFD ultrasonic equipment
• to locate and evaluate flaws in the weld body and HAZ
• to differentiate defects from geometric features
• to analyse scan data for location and size of defects in typical welded butt joints
• to understand and apply digital processing processes (SAFT, linearization, averaging, filters etc)
• to compile written instructions
• to meet the CSWIP syllabus requirements

Suitable for:
Individuals with ultrasonic testing experience, who are looking to expand their knowledge into advanced ultrasonic applications and gain a qualification in Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD).

Additional Information:
Course candidates must be qualified to a minimum of Level 2 ultrasonic testing (weld).

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
For candidates opting for the examination package, the examination follows immediately after the course (on day 10). This course will lead to an internationally recognised CSWIP or PCN certification - EN 473/ISO 9712.
