Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a critical technique in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) that employs high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or discontinuities within materials. This comprehensive course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of UT principles, equipment operation, inspection techniques, and interpretation of test results. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, participants will develop the skills necessary to perform UT effectively in various industrial applications.
