Thermography Level 2 with Snell

Training Overview

Attendees will learn advanced theory and applications of infrared thermography in the preventive maintenance, quality assurance, condition monitoring, and nondestructive testing of materials.

Level II focuses on radiometric temperature measurement and how taking accurate temperatures improves the diagnosis and interpretation of thermal situations. The course delves deeply into the concepts of emissivity, reflected temperature compensation as well as spatial and measurement resolution. Other topics include inspecting through transmissive films and windows and the use and limitations of infrared mirrors.

The Level II course extends the knowledge gained in the Level I course on infrared theory and heat transfer concepts. Students leave aware of the full operational capabilities of their radiometric thermal imaging equipment and are challenged daily with hands-on demonstrations, experiments, and inspection situations similar to those that they will experience in the field.
