Description
A comprehensive and modular training program designed to accelerate participants toward reliability excellence by mastering the theoretical, practical, and implementational aspects of ultrasound technology.
This course is structured to provide a fast track for maintenance professionals to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance strategies. It typically includes the recognized Level 1 Ultrasound Certification as a core component.
Recommended audience
- Ultrasound Inspectors and Technicians
- Reliability Engineers
- Maintenance Supervisors and Managers
- Condition Monitoring Team Members
- Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Professionals
- Lubrication Specialists
Learning Objectives
- Achieve Level 1 Certification in airborne and structure-borne ultrasound.
- Understand the "Why," "What," and "How" behind a sustainable ultrasound program.
- Master the practical use of SDT hardware and software (e.g., UAS3) for data collection and analysis.
- Apply ultrasound across its Eight Application Pillars
- Gain foundational knowledge in key reliability methodologies, including Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
- Develop and execute implementation skills to drive a reliability culture change within their organization.
Program
The program is modular, often delivered over a few days (e.g., 2.5 to 3 days), and is characterized by a balance between theory and practical application.
Key elements include:
- Reliability Fundamentals: Introduction to the core concepts that underpin proactive maintenance.
- Ultrasound Theory: Principles of sound, wave propagation, and how to apply it to asset monitoring.
- Application Pillars: Detailed instruction on using ultrasound for various industrial tasks.
- Data Management: Best practices for using SDT software, setting up routes, and interpreting data/condition indicators.
- Hands-on Experience: Practical exercises and a final project to test knowledge application.
- Dual Certification: Participants can obtain both the SDT Level 1 Certification and the Power User certificate.
