LEVEL II QUANTITATIVE THERMOGRAPHY |
Level-II (Quantitative / Applications) is a five-day theory and applications course for the application of thermal imaging for P/PM, Condition Monitoring, Quality Assurance and Forensic Investigations. This course covers advanced infrared theory, equipment calibration, error sources, cross-verification with contact thermometers, advanced equipment operation, use of windows and filters, assigning temperature limits and repair priorities, and quantitative report generation. Students are encouraged to bring their own imager for individualized training or to learn how to use it more effectively. LEVEL II CURRICULUM 1. Thermometry Fundamentals Temperature scales and conversions Absolute and relative temperatures Classes and benefits of contact thermometers Classes and benefits of non-contact thermometers Identifying and reducing errors 2. Advanced IR Theory Units for measuring radiant power Relationship between power and temperature Planck's blackbody curves 3. Temperature Measurement Error Sources and Corrections Calibration how IR sensors are calibrated how to check calibration calibration/accuracy specifications Reflectance shielding techniques measuring & compensating for with direct and reflector methods Emittance how emittance varies using default and table values how to measure emittance Transmittance filters to view through materials and atmospheres filters to measure temperatures of material surfaces and atmospheres measuring material transmittance Target Width/Distance Ratios calculating target size/distance 4. Traceable Temperature Limits: How Hot is Too Hot Delta-T classifications NETA, Mil Spec, and other standards Absolute temperature classifications ANSI, IEEE, NEMA standards for electrical systems correction formula for load and ambient temperature other standards for mechanical systems Developing limits for your equipment 5. Preparing Quantitative Reports Data to gather Report procedures Image processing software capabilities Report generation software capabilities Course tuition includes all course presentations, the Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer® Course Reference Manual, and certification exam. Certification card and diploma issued with passing grade of 80%. Courses begin at 8:30 am daily Monday through Friday and include a daily refreshments, and lunch Monday through Thursday. Course ends by noon Friday. Prerequisite: Level I Certification Tuition fee $12700 TTD |
