BINDT is an accredited certification body offering personnel certification against criteria set out in International and European standards. This course prepares you for qualification as a category 1 certified Thermographer.
The course will teach the basics of infrared, how to operate the camera under different conditions and how to do an appropriate judgement of the measurement situation in the field and identify potential error sources.
You will also learn to carry out IR inspections following written guidelines and to report the result of this inspection.
Topics covered include:
• Introduction to Thermography: History; benchmarks; applications including electrical, Mechanical, Building, Medical and R&D. Camera technology overview from older scanning systems to modern day FPA’s.
Explanation of camera operation and how the camera converts radiation into an image
• Heat & Temperature: Heat and measurement; contact v non-contact temperature measurement. How radiation is converted into temperature and an introduction to heat transfer.
• Infrared Theory Basics: Scientific Laws relating to; conduction, convection, radiation, blackbodies, Transmission Emissivity, Reflectivity & Calibration. Practical demonstration of these heat transfer modes with follow up theory
• Measurement Techniques: Atmospheric & Environmental considerations including, Distance, humidity, air temp and Reflected Apparent Temperature. How to measure them and setup the camera correctly
• Basic Heat transfer theory: Temperature definition and measurement, thermodynamics, heat and temperature, heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation.
• Camera Measurement tools: A look at cross hair measurement, Area box/ circle, colour alarms and specific dewpoint and insulation alarms
• Camera/Software familiarisation: Hands-on camera experience throughout the course with camera practice using portable simulated labs; integration of images with Reporting software; creation of reports.
