Level 2 Outline and Curriculum
This course can be presented at your location for 4 or more students.
Course Objectives and Outcome: The objective of this course is to give the student a higher understanding of the benefits of infrared thermography in fields other than predictive maintenance. It will give the student the tools to allow them to understand active thermography and the its many applications in a variety of industries. This is done through the use of Fouriers law, providing the student with a greater understanding of the principles of thermal conductivity and thermal resistance. They will also be taught how to perform heat loss calculations using the various forms of the Stephan-Boltzman formula. They will be instructed in the ways to reduce this energy loss and learn to calculate the dollar savings from these actions.
Upon completion of the course the student will have mastered the skills necessary to understand, set up and perform various active thermography procedures. They will also be able to determine radiative heat loss calculations from the values arrived at using an infrared camera. For those who complete the written procedures, Level 2 certification will be issued.
Curriculum
The level 2 Certification Course is a 40 hour, 4.5 day course.
