Infrared Thermography Competency Based Theoretical e-workshop

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Infrared Thermography is one of the most valuable tools available for inspecting electrical systems. Too often, however, the use of the technology falls short of its potential full value. Why? A primary reason is our failure to understand the basic heat transfer science involved and, thus, misinterpret the thermal signature of a component possibly headed toward heat-related failure.
This course will present case studies that present real problems that the thermographer will experience in the field. This course objective is to give a proper training to engineers engage in this field, giving them a good understanding of radiation laws and parameters to take into consideration when carrying thermographic inspections and measurement. Participants learn to avoid costly mistakes.
 
TARGET AUDIENCE:
    1. New Thermographer Surveyors.
    2. Those intending to buy or use Infrared Thermography.
    3. Service Providers providing Infrared Thermography services; and
   4. Maintenance Engineers who are interested to learn Infrared Thermography as an advance tool in maintaining their own facility/assets.
