Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)

AMG-X08 | ₦2,700,000
Campus
D-line Port Harcourt
Duration
12 days (Full-time)

Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is an advanced ultrasonic testing method used for highly accurate detection and sizing of internal defects in welds, pressure vessels, pipelines, and structural components. Unlike conventional ultrasonic testing (UT), TOFD uses diffraction signals from defect edges rather than reflection, making it highly reliable for detecting and measuring crack depth with exceptional accuracy. It is widely applied in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, and manufacturing.

This course provides comprehensive training on TOFD principles, equipment setup, scanning techniques, and data interpretation. Participants will learn how to configure TOFD systems, analyze signals, and apply TOFD for weld inspection and flaw characterization. The course also covers industry standards such as ASNT, ISO, ASTM, and API, as well as best practices for documentation and reporting. Practical sessions will reinforce theoretical knowledge, ensuring trainees develop hands-on proficiency in TOFD applications.
