The FlawTech API-UT-1 Qualification Kit is an advanced training and certification kit for ultrasonic inspection (UT) of ferritic welds. It meets the requirements of API UT exams and offers realistic specimens with distributed defects in multiple component types.

Key features and benefits

• Four samples included:
  • A 1.0″ thick board with double V-groove (12″ × 15″)
  • A 0.5″ thick board with a single V-groove (10″ × 12″)
  • One pipe: 8″ Sch80, wall thickness 0.5″, full 360° weld
  • One pipe segment: 12″ Sch80, wall thickness 0.688″, 180° weld

• Total of 12 defects, with 2–4 defects per sample, placed randomly

• Error tolerance: ±0.080″
