Level 1 Thermography Training Course

Next Course Date TBC
Duration 4 Days
Location
Recommended for Plant Operator / Maintainers
Reliability Engineers
Plant Engineers
Condition Monitoring Specialists
Thermal camera operator/ users

 

Topics include:

  • Introduction to thermography
  • Heat and temperature
  • Infrared theory basics
  • Measurement techniques
  • Basic heat transfer theory
  • Camera measurement tools
  • Camera/software familiarisation

 

Training Course Overview

The course teaches the basics of infrared, how to operate the camera under different conditions and for various purposes, how to do an appropriate judgement of the measurement situation in the field and identify potential error sources. You will be able to do inspections following written guidelines and to report the result of this inspection. 

Training Course Objectives

  • An understanding of thermography and the history of the camera technology development
  • An explanation of the camera operation and how it works
  • An understanding of infrared theory and the scientific laws relating to conduction, convection, radiation, and calibration. Practical demonstration of these heat transfer modes with follow-up theory
  • An understanding of atmospheric and environmental considerations, including distance, humidity, air temperature and reflected apparent temperature. How to measure them and set up the camera correctly
  • An understanding of temperature definition and measurement, thermodynamics, heat and temperature, heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation
  • A look at cross hair measurement, area box /circle colour alarms and specific dew point and insulation alarms
  • The course includes hands-on camera experience throughout the course and camera operation practice using portable simulated labs; integration of images with reporting software; creation of reports
  • On completion of the course you will be able to sit the certification test that will be on the final day.
