Thermography Basics
Tuition: $125 USD
Duration: 3-Hours
Language: English
Format: On-Demand / Self-Paced Learning
Thermography involves more than just learning how to use an infrared camera. IR science, heat transfer, thermal tuning, and application knowledge are all essential subjects a thermographer must understand in order to properly interpret an image. This course will give the learner the basic information to understand these concepts.
Learning Objectives
-
Describe infrared radiation and how it relates to other forms of electromagnetic energy
-
Explain how material properties like emissivity and reflectivity influence the image an infrared camera produces
-
Express the significant and important role of heat transfer in producing surface temperature patterns
-
Demonstrate how to obtain quality images through proper focusing, composition, and thermal tuning
-
Apply the proper image parameters such as target size and distance, emissivity, and reflected temperature when making thermal measurements
-
Examine the common applications for thermography in buildings, electrical, and mechanical systems
