Introduction to Thermography
This is a full 1-day course for beginners and anyone interested in infrared thermography and its applications. The course covers the basics of infrared theory and includes demonstrations, camera hands-on training and practical exercises using relevant laboratory sessions.
Course content: Basics of thermography, basics of emissivity and reflected apparent temperature, introduction to electrical and building inspections, infrared camera handling, data analysis and reports, laboratory sessions.
Introduction to Electrical and Industrial Thermography
This course provides a general introduction to infrared thermography and an overview of its specific use for inspections of electrical and industrial systems. It aims at giving you suggestions on what you can do with your infrared camera. During the first day, you learn the basics of thermography and how to use your camera the best way (the first day is identical to the course Introduction to Thermography). The second day you will start with a brief reminder about thermal transfers before you learn about electrical and industrial systems and components, material properties and typical problems and faults. Emphasis is put on case studies, selected from the field.
Course content: Basics of thermography, basics of emissivity and reflected apparent temperature, introduction to electrical and building inspections, infrared camera handling, basics of heat transfer, electrical and industrial systems, important properties of materials, common problems, case studies, common mistakes, application guidelines, data analysis and reports, laboratory sessions.
Introduction to Reporting and FLIR Software
This course is for all users of FLIR software. The content, duration and price depend on the related software. FLIR Tools+ requires one day. FLIR Research IR, Thesa and other software may need 2 or more days.
Course content: System requirements, configuration, analyzing functions, templates, reporting functions, recording, data exchange, practical exercises, creating reports according to relevant standards.
Pre-requisites: Laptop with installed software, full or 30 day demo version (download from FLIR.com)
