The New FLIR T400 Series with image enhancement

FLIR T400-Series

	320 x 240 pixel resolution The T400-Series has a thermal image resolution of 320 x 240 pixels.
	Camera sensitivity The FLIR T400-series has a thermal sensitivity of < 45 mK.
	High quality visual camera Both models in the FLIR T400-Series have an integrated 3.1 Mpixel digital camera.
	Measurement range The T400-series can measure temperatures up to +1200°C.
	Interchangeable infrared lenses The T400-Series features a standard 25° lens and optional 6°, 15°, 45° and 90° lenses.
	Flexible interfaces The T400-Series is equipped with standard video, USB outputs as well as a removable SD card.
	MPEG-4 video Create visual and infrared non radiometric MPEG-4 video files.
	Thermal Fusion Merges visual and thermal images to offer better analysis.
	Temperature sound, image alarms Make surveying easier and faster.
	Picture-in-Picture Create an infrared overlay on your visual image. Scalable, moveable and resizable.
	Text and voice annotations Text comments can be made from a pre-defined list or using the touch screen. A headset can be connected to make voice annotations.
	Sketch annotations Use the touch screen as pen and paper to add sketch annotations.
	Image sketch Indicate problem areas directly on the thermal image.
	Radiometric IR video streaming 16 bit radiometric IR video can be streamed to a PC (via USB) running the FLIR R&D software.
	Image storage FLIR uses a non proprietary radiometric JPEG image format that allows for post processing and report writing with Microsoft Word® based FLIR software.
	Touch screen 3.5" LCD touch screen brings interactivity and user comfort to a new level.
	Measurement Modes Measurement spots, area with auto hot/cold spot indication, isotherms, ΔT calculation.
	Copy to USB Transfer on board images or reports directly from the thermal imaging camera to a USB stick.
	Instant reports Create instant reports directly in camera, easily copy report to USB.
	Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) The innovative MSX feature produces an image more rich in every detail than ever before.
	WiFi Connect to smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi, using the FLIR Tools mobile app (Apple iOS and Android) for processing and sharing results as well as for remote control.

	* Features dependant on camera model, please check technical specifications for more details.

ITC - Level 2 Thermography Courses

The five day level 2 training course prepares you for qualification as a level 2 certified Thermographer.

You will learn about topics in Infrared Thermography to both deepen and broaden your knowledge about infrared physics, heat science, infrared measurement equipment and its application. As a Level 2 Thermographer you shall provide guidance to category 1 personnel in the areas of equipment selection, techniques, limitations, data analysis, corrective actions and reporting.

In order to attend a Level 2 Thermography Course, you shall

hold a valid Level 1 Thermography certificate.
prepare a case study to be presented at the Level 2 course and submittedtowards qualification at course closing. Details and guidelines on the case studywill be issued 2-3 weeks prior to the course start date.

Introduction to Thermography:

Review of Level 1 Thermography.

Temperature:

Conversion factors between Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit.

Heat & Temperature:

Convection, conduction and radiation – Radiation Laws.

Thermography:

Blackbodies, emissivity. Planks, Boltzman, Newton, Wein’s laws Optical filters, optical materials, anti-reflective coatings.

Atmospheric transmission and attenuation. Detector technologies and calibration.

Measurement techniques.

IR Measurement Systems Overview:

Details of different thermal imaging camera parameters including, NETD, IFOV, MFOV

IR Windows and Window Materials:

Window measurement formulae, spectral transmittance of different materials.

Transient Thermographic NDT:

Transient Thermographic methods analysed.

ITC Certification Test:

ITC qualification test to be held on last day ofcourse.

Please bring with you a scientific calculator, your laptop with software loaded and your Thermal Imaging camera as they will be used extensively throughout the course. There will be some reading required during the evenings.
