This course is designed to meet and exceed ISO 18436 Part 7 CAT 1 and ANSI/ASNT CP105 & CP-189 (2016) Level 1 recommended practices, it covers all of the relevant infrared theory and physics required to produce a professional Thermography inspection report.
This course prepares the student for qualification as a CAT 1 certified thermographer. The participant will learn about topics in infrared thermography to increase their knowledge about infrared physics, heat science and infrared measurement equipment and its application. As a CAT 1 thermographer, will learn to set up the cameras setting of Distance, Transmissivity, Emissivity, how ensure the IFOV & MFOV are set correctly, capturing good images and initial analysis on the images.
Note:
- It is recommended that the student have some basic experience with Infrared or Thermography.
- For completion of assignments, student will need access to an Infrared Camera
- Students will need to download the Course Book found on the Materials tab above.
