As industries continue to demand higher precision and efficiency in weld inspection, the need for skilled professionals in Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Data Interpretation is more crucial than ever. TWI Middle East offers the CSWIP AUT Data Interpretation course, equipping inspectors with the expertise needed to assess weld acceptance or rejection based on AUT data.
With technological advancements transforming non-destructive testing (NDT), professionals must stay ahead by gaining the right certifications and expertise to meet industry standards.
Why is CSWIP AUT Data Interpretation Training Essential?
In sectors like oil & gas, power generation, and pipeline construction, AUT has become the go-to method for efficient and accurate weld inspection. Traditional radiographic testing (RT) is increasingly being replaced by AUT due to safety, speed, and precision benefits. However, the interpretation of AUT data remains a specialised skill that requires rigorous training and certification.
The demand for qualified AUT data interpreters is growing as companies seek to enhance the reliability of weld inspections, minimise errors, and comply with BS EN ISO 9712 standards. This course prepares professionals to meet these industry demands, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality standards.
Advantages of the CSWIP AUT Data Interpretation Course
This program offers a deep dive into AUT technology and its applications. Participants will learn:
- Phased Array Technique – Understanding the strengths and limitations of phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT).
- Pipe Wizard Overview – Gaining insight into this specialised AUT system used in pipeline weld inspection.
- Data Interpretation Using RD Tech Viewer – Mastering software tools to analyse AUT data for pipe girth weld inspections.
- Record Auditing – Learning how to review and assess AUT records to ensure compliance with specifications.
By aligning with BS EN ISO 9712 standards, the training ensures that participants meet industry expectations for quality and accurate defect identification.
With CSWIP AUT Data Interpretation certification, professionals can:
- Enhance career prospects – Gain an internationally recognised certification that is highly valued in NDT.
- Improve job performance – Accurately distinguish defects from geometric features and assess AUT records effectively.
- Meet industry compliance – Ensure inspections adhere to international standards, reducing risks and increasing credibility.
- Expand career opportunities – Work on high-profile projects in oil & gas, aerospace, and infrastructure development.
Industry professionals with CSWIP AUT Data Interpretation certification are in high demand due to their ability to accurately evaluate weld conditions based on AUT data. This expertise opens doors to higher-paying roles and leadership positions in NDT inspection teams.
Certification and Entry Requirements
To enrol in this program, candidates must hold BS EN ISO 9712 UT certification (e.g., PCN or CSWIP Level 2 in Ultrasonic Testing).
For those without Level 2 certification, an additional CSWIP UT Welds Level 2 General Paper (40 multiple-choice questions) must be completed along with the AUT Data Interpretation examination.
Please note below requirements:
- Required training duration: 40 hours (theory + practical)
- Minimum duration for experience prior to or following success in the qualification examination is 3 months of industry experience.
