TFM SNT Level 2 Course

Total Focusing Method (TFM) is an advanced ultrasonic testing technique that combines full matrix capture data acquisition with TFM data reconstruction to improve resolution and depth of field over conventional ultrasonic testing. The course provides 80 hours of training over 10 days to educate inspectors on TFM methodologies, including both theoretical and hands-on practical components covering data collection, imaging, calibration, and defect identification in accordance with industry standards. Candidates must hold an UT Level 2 certification in welds with ideally some experience in phased array ultrasonic testing.

TOTAL FOCUSING METHOD

(TFM)
COURSE CONTENT
Total Focusing Method (TFM) is an examination technique involving the combination of classic Full Matrix Capture
(FMC) data acquisition and TFM data reconstruction. The method has capabilities of improved resolution and depth
of field over a larger region with less scattering of sound waves from material noise.

Our TFM course is designed to educate advanced inspectors in the methodologies and techniques to accurately
identify and interpret defects in challenging inspections. The course syllabus has been written in accordance with
ASME Section V and 2020 SNT-TC-1A.

COURSE OUTLINE
The course will cover the theoretical understanding of TFM
in addition to hands-on testing using the latest technology
equipment, such as the M2M GEKKO and the Omniscan X3.

□ Overview of PAUT and FMC data collection

□ Beam forming and resolution

□ Amplitude fidelity, interface/dead zones and calibration


□ Sensitivity correction
□ FMC characteristics
□ Plane Wave Imaging (PWI)
□ Understanding the various modes used in TFM

□ Evaluation and examination including display settings,


flaw characterisation, flaw dimensioning and software
tools

□ Weld and corrosion examinations

□ Advantages and disadvantages of the method

□ Hands on practical testing on a wide range of samples
