COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions. Theory learned will be applied using thermal imaging infrared cameras. 

 

This course will provide participants the advanced concepts and principles of Thermal/Infrared Testing (IR) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing. 

 

Infrared thermography technique which is non-contact, nondestructive test method uses an infrared imaging to detect, display and record thermal patterns and temperature across the surface of an object. 

 

Thermography can be applied to any situation where thermal profile and temperature will provide meaning data about a system or object. It is equipment which senses infrared radiation by converting it into temperature and displays image of temperature distribution. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of the thermography and thermal imaging reports. It covers the nature of heat and temperature and how it is measured/expressed; the heat transfer modes covering the fundamentals of heat conduction, heat convection and heat radiation; the radiosity concepts comprising of reflectivity, transmissivity, absorptivity, emissivity, infrared radiometry, imaging, spatial resolution concepts and error potential in radiant measurements; and the basic thermal/infrared operating including the operation of infrared thermal imager and operation of support equipment for infrared surveys
