Industrial Ultrasonic Inspection - Levels 1 & 2 - 2nd Edition (Softcover)

Ultrasonic testing (UT) has been an accepted practice of inspection in industrial environments for decades. Our new textbook, titled Industrial Ultrasonic Inspection Levels 1 & 2, is designed to meet and exceed ISO 9712 training requirements for Level 1 and 2 certification. The material presented in this book will provide readers with all the basic knowledge of the theory behind elastic wave propagation and its uses through easy to read text and clear pictorial descriptors.

Discussed UT concepts include:

General engineering, materials, and components theory
Theory of sound waves and their propagation
The general uses of ultrasonic waves
Methods of ultrasonic wave generation
Different ultrasonic inspection techniques
Ultrasonic flaw detectors, scanning systems, and probes
Calibration fundamentals
General scanning techniques
Flaw sizing techniques
Basic analysis principles for ultrasonic, phased array ultrasonic, and time of flight diffraction inspection techniques
Codes and standards
Principles of technical documentation and reporting

It is the author's intention that this book is used for general training purposes and is the ideal classroom textbook.
