Level 2 Ultrasound Certification Training
Allan Rienstra, General Manager SDT North America

Allan Rienstra, Editor
The Ultrawave Technology Report

 

While it has been a long time coming, I can honestly say after reviewing the course material that SDT's inaugural Level 2 Ultrasound Inspector's Certification Training was well worth the wait. For the thousands who have taken our Level 1 course you will appreciate the significant value we place on integrating learned knowledge with practical experience. After all, what good is it to take away knowledge that can't be applied? So what's new for the Level 2?

Other than the review of Level 1 in the first few hours, EVERYTHING is new! This course is heavily weighted in Signal Analysis (Time/Spectra) theory and will be particularly interesting to vibration analysts and condition monitoring specialists seeking to understand the integration links between vibration condition monitoring and ultrasound condition monitoring (vibration experience is not a prerequisite, and not necessary to get the most from this course). There is a greater emphasis on hands on practice and advanced applications for airborne, structure borne, tightness testing, lubrication, rotating, and non-rotating mechanical.

ASNT? Yes! Just like our Level 1 class, Level 2 will reward successful completion with continuing education units.

SDT's Ultrasonic Learning Lab is a unique experience for conference goers looking for more than a bagful of brochures. Inside the learning lab you will find interactive work stations including:
  • Lubrication
  • Leak Detection
  • Tightness Testing
  • Bearing Monitoring
  • Electrical Inspections
  • Ultrasound Signal Analysis
  • Valve Trouble Shooting

Ultrasonic inspection is a leading technology in use by companies who recognize the ease with which they can monitor the health of their plant's rotating equipment, contain the expense of wasted energy through better management of compressed air leaks, and ensure better product quality through specialized applications for quality control.

The Ultrasonic Learning Lab at IMC is a wonderful place to meet some of the best ultrasound minds from around the world. Our lab is staffed with experts from several countries, speaking many languages.

Level: Beginner or Intermediate

With energy costs soaring, companies are discovering huge electric and fuel savings by implementing a green ultrasonic energy management program.

Implementing an ultrasound compressed air leak and steam trap survey program that is both effective and enduring is a challenge faced by nearly every company that has tried. Standing between success and failure are several roadblocks including time constraint, manpower shortages, conflicting priorities, and the need to prove out the impact the program will have first; often before funds are approved to start the project. This session covers all aspects from implementation and practices to documentation and reporting.

SDT's one day green ultrasonic energy management program Seminar provides you with the information to clear the way to a successful and effective program. Our curriculum is put together using input from industry experts around the globe who understand what it takes to run an efficient compressed air system. Our instructors are passionate about teaching ultrasound and cannot wait to meet you. - Request Info

What You Will Learn

This training session is not your typical one-day sleeper. Be prepared for interactive sessions designed to get you out of your seat and working with ultrasound equipment. Learn how to implement an effective air leak and steam leak survey program. Work with SDT’s proven steam and air leak cost calculators while using state of the art ultrasound instruments and teaching aids designed to simulate your plant’s “real world environment.”

Curriculum

Instructor Bio

SDT Training Programs offers a new concept for training in 2009, The PdM Super Course.

There is no single predictive technology which can diagnose all the problems that lead to mechanical defects within your plant. With so many great tools available today, Best-of-Class maintenance departments rely on data from multiple technologies to make informed assessments about machine health.

Within most maintenance organizations it is normal to find a select few CERTIFIED personnel at the top of the technical pyramid. These are the qualified Vibration Analysts, Ultrasound Inspectors, and Infrared Imagers. But beyond these experts there is a void of expertise. For every one expert there are many more who would benefit from a good understanding of how and where these technologies could be used.

SDT has created a "SUPER COURSE" designed to help two specific groups:

  • Those who have some understanding of one technology, but know very little about the rest
  • Millwrights, engineers, reliability personnel and anybody else who could benefit from the knowledge of where and how to use the predictive instrumentation already on hand.

Join SDT North America and Tom Murphy for the PdM Super Course
