Marden Thermographic

ITC - Level 1 Thermography Course ISO18436 PCN

ITC offers certification training to recognised standards and is an accredited Authorised Training Organisation (ATO) for the British Institute of Non Destructive Testing (BINDT) as per the requirements of ISO 18436. 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. You will learn about the basics of infrared, how to operate the camera under different conditions and for various purposes, how to do an appropriate judgement of the measurement situation in the field and identify potential error sources. You will be able to do IR inspections following written guidelines and to report the result of this inspection.

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 cameraconverts radiation into an image.

Heat & Temperature:

Heat and measurement; contact v non-contact temperature measurement. How radiation is converted into temperatureand 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:
