Course Description

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. During this interactive course, participants will learn the checking of equipment calibration with blackbody references; the infrared image and documentation quality; supporting data collection and detecting thermal anomalies resulting from differences in thermal resistance (quasi-steadystate heat flow); detecting thermal anomalies resulting from differences in thermal capacitance, using system or environmental heat cycles; detecting thermal anomalies resulting from differences in physical state, fluid flow problems and friction; detecting thermal anomalies resulting from nonhomogeneous exothermic or endothermic conditions; and the field quantification of point temperatures covering simple techniques for emissivity, typical high emissivity applications and special problem of low emissivity applications.
