ULTRASOUND CERTIFICATION CLASSES

Level I & Level II

Our comprehensive Level I and Level II courses certify students to significantly improve their maintenance program at their facilities, taking it to a world-class level. These courses contain 32 hours of ultrasonic theory and equipment practice focusing on leak detection, electrical and mechanical inspection, steam traps and valves, bearings, lubrication, and more.

Online

In-Person

The Level I and Level II courses are in conformity with the requirements of the American Society of Non-Destructive Testing (ASNT) Recommended Practice, SNT-TC-1A and follow the guidelines of the ISO 18436-8, the standard for condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines.

In these courses, we will cover:

Sound Theory and Ultrasonic Principles
Electrical and Mechanical Inspection
Bearing Monitoring, Trending, Lubrication, and Analysis
Condition-Based Lubrication
Reporting
