OmniScan MX2 Training Program

Overview

OmniScan MX2 Training Program Objectives

The primary objective of the OmniScan MX2 training program is to


enhance the overall customer satisfaction by enabling MX2 users to
work at a higher level through a comprehensive self-pace training
program.
The intent is to replace or reduce the need for a traditional 40-80 hour
instructor based course. At a minimum the participant who invests
the time to complete the course prior to attending instructor based
training or application development will be able to maximize their
investment and learning curve.
This is achieved by taking the participants through the various
software features and procedures of the MX2 and exposing them to
advanced applications and Olympus PA systems such as the Cobra,
Hydroform, WeldRover, advanced manual inspection techniques, and
equipment contained in the Olympus probe and industrial scanner
catalogs.

OmniScan MX2 Training Program Overview

The training program consists of 400+ Power Point slides, movies,


and step by step procedures demonstrating the various functions of
MX2 software with a focus on applications and real world usage.
The MX2 training program assumes that the participant is an
experienced user of convention UT with little or no background and
training in phased array inspection.
The majority of concepts, examples, and procedures can be
completed with a single phased array probe and wedge, and any
typical calibration or reference standard with a notch or side drilled
hole. An IIW block or NAVShip block is sufficient.

OmniScan MX2 Training Program Section Details

The MX2 training program is divided into specific sections that are
designed to take the users through the various software functions
in a logical sequence.
Each lesson with detailed descriptions and explanations followed
by step-by-step exercises and movie demonstrations where
applicable.

OmniScan MX2 Training Program Applications

The MX2 training program attempts to insert as many application examples


as possible relative to the section.
Throughout the slide presentations and movies there are application
examples to illustrate the software feature including data samples, photos,
or procedural tips and concerns.
There are also a series of special applications at the end of the training
program that combine all of the unique aspects of inspections such as weld
inspection, corrosion mapping, TOFD, DGS, AWS, etc in one place
repeating and emphasizing certain aspects of the hardware, software and
procedure.
Regarding the tools and type of C-scan analysis required, the applications
are basically divided into two groups:
1. Amplitude based inspection (Code based weld inspection, crack detection and
sizing, component quality testing, etc). These inspection primarily use amplitude
based C-scans and are dependent on amplitude based calibrations and sizing
techniques.
2. Time of flight inspection or TOF (Composite delamination, corrosion mapping,
TOFD, etc.). These inspections primarily use position C-scans and typical
require more depth\thickness\TOF measurement.

OmniScan MX2 Training Program Supporting Documentation

Supporting documentation for the training program comes primarily from the MX2
software manuals and the Olympus reference manuals below.
Modern phased array systems like the MX2 do not require an advanced knowledge
of mathematics or acoustic theory and the training program focuses on practical
explanations and real world application examples for the working inspector.
Supporting theory, mathematical formulas, and more advanced PA concepts can be
found in the books below available from the ONDT web site.

OmniScan MX2 Training Program An A-scan is an A-scan

Throughout the program the concept that an A-scan is an A-scan is


emphasized and the majority of tasks and procedures that are performed in
phased array inspection have more to do with managing large amounts of
data and completion of repetitive tasks than learning a new inspection
technology or reinventing traditional UT inspections with more data.
The answer to most questions students have during their phased array
training is: Exactly like we did it in conventional UT. An A-scan is an Ascan.but we are more dependent on software to manage them.
