Kickstart your ultrasound journey Ultrasound Essentials – Part 1 (UE1) is 25 bundled short courses designed to kickstart any ultrasound journey. The courses are delivered on-demand. UE1 is comprised of three learning categories. Foundational Knowledge – information that lays the footings for understanding ultrasound and its significant role as the first line of defense against unplanned downtime, energy conservation, environmental sustainability, and employee safety. Application Knowledge – information that connects the dots between foundational knowledge and how reliability professionals use ultrasound to advance reliability of their assets while creating a winning culture. Hardware and Software Knowledge – engaging and empowering the skills required for inspectors to use SDT solutions in the field, and in the office.

Detecting mechanical faults before they stop production Bearing and Machine Maintenance Industry runs on machinery. Bearings, pumps, electric motors, compressors, presses, gearboxes and much more. All of which can break unexpectedly, causing production to stop. When production stops your organization loses money. Few bearings make it to the end of their engineered lifecycle. This is due to poor workmanship, bad lubrication practices and neglect. Problems can even arise right after installation due poor installment of the machine. No two machines are the same. Across industry, machines operate under different loads, climates and conditions, making their maintenance requirements unpredictable. Many machines are still maintained on calendar based PM’s, while others are run-to-failure. Both strategies are wasteful.

SDT was the first to pioneer on ultrasound-based hatch cover weathertightness testing on board of ships back in the late 1980s. Together with MacGregor, Lloyds Register of Shipping and IMCS, SDT was able to put ultrasound testing of hatch covers on the world map and make it the preferred method for testing hatch covers by charterers, shippers, P&I insurers and stakeholders in the marine industry. Another first position for SDT is that further development of the tightness testing equipment resulted in SDT launching the world’s first Class type approved and bespoke SHERLOG product range in 2000. Ever since, the SDT SHERLOG equipment became a symbol of reliable and professional hatch cover testing. As no solution is complete without training, SDT & IMCS developed the first and only training course for ultrasound testing of hatch covers in line with the IACS UR Z17 criteria.
