Ultra Probe Training Classes
Comments and Contributions: Remote Sensing
While many of you know of the importance of condition monitoring using portable instruments, there are often situations in which a remote sensor might make more sense. For many reasons, such as time management, criticality of equipment or accessibility issues, standard inspection routines will not be possible with portable equipment.
Many companies are now incorporating remote sensors, specifically the UE Systems Ultra-Trak 750 for some interesting applications. As an example, one company is monitoring transformers continuously to detect partial discharge. A mining company uses Ultra-Trak to monitor open and closed conditions in valves buried deep in their mines. In addition to monitoring critical motors for bearing condition, there are a number of companies that use these sensors to identify rubbing conditions in operating equipment.
The advantage of remote monitoring is that they provide 24/7 sensing at a very economical cost.

Inspector enrolled must bring the following to class: API RP5A5, API 5EU, Scientific calculator, Ultrasonic unit.
This course was developed to meet the guidelines of SNT-TC-1A. The Level course provides a basic knowledge of Ultrasonic inspection. The course covers both compression and shear wave inspection. The student is provided with sufficient knowledge to calibrate and use flaw detector ultrasonic equipment under the supervision of the Level II. The student is introduced to curved surfaces early in the course.
After a review of the Level I material, the Level II course work goes to work on flaw detection and sizing. The material is directed to being able to work with curved surfaces. The IPIA courses are the only ones we know of that are focused on curved surfaces. ASTM and API requirements are the basis of inspection requirements.
