Metodo Ultrasound (UT)

Ultrasound (UT) course in the industrial sector for direct access to Level 2 certification

The course is divided into 10 days covering the study of multi-sector methodology, including ultrasonic thickness testing (UT-TH). The programme is structured in such a way that it is possible to follow only the part relating to thickness testing (UT-TH): in this case, the duration of the training can be reduced by up to 50%, 5 days.

The course complies with the UNI EN ISO 9712 standard ‘Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of non-destructive testing personnel’, which regulates certification in methods used in non-destructive testing in the industrial sector.

The certification of personnel involved in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is objective evidence of the correct management of human resources and the adequate implementation of production processes, contributing to the recognition of company quality standards.

Furthermore, the qualification of NDT personnel constitutes a legal safeguard for the protection of the liability of the manufacturer or the company responsible for the tests, acting as objective technical credentials for the skills of the personnel.
