Available Certification Courses

	CSWIP1 - TWI EN473 Manual & Encoded Phased Array Inspection of Welds Training and Certification Principles of phased array inspection; principles of phased array probes; principles of inspection sensitivity; phased array instrument; scanning with phased array probes; calibration and checks; software for data collection and data analysis; principles of data analysis; software familiarity; use of software tools for defect detection and sizing; data analysis; procedures for verification of flaw existence and position; reporting.
	CSWIP2 - TWI EN473 Time of Flight (TOFD) Training and Certification TOFD theory and principles of diffraction, hardware (pulsers, receivers, motor control, encoders), data acquisition and interpretation, TOFD techniques and applications, equipment selection, calibration and optimisation, optimising PCS and angles, flaw location and sizing, limitations of detection and resolution, codes and standards, reporting.
	CSWIP3 - TWI EN473 Certification Course for Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Technicians In AUT of pipeline girth welds a series of probes or a phased array probe is mounted on a band strapped around the pipe adjacent to the weld and is driven around the pipe's circumference. As the probe(s) travel around the pipe, ultrasonic data is collected from the weld and the software enables flaw sizes and positions to be displayed. Very fast scanning speeds (~100mm/s) are called for, since, to keep pace with construction, it is necessary to complete a weld inspection every 2-4 minutes. AUT is replacing radiography for pipeline girth weld inspections worldwide.
	CSWIP4 - TWI EN473 Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Data Interpretation Training and Certification Knowledge of phased array technique; advantages/disadvantages; overview of PipeWizard; interpretation of results from pipe girth weld inspections using TomoView Viewer software; auditing of AUT records.
