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.

iLearnBalancing - Computer-based, Precision Field Balancing Training

NEW - iLearnBalancing Interactive field balancing training

iLearnBalancing provides you with in-depth understanding of why balancing is so important as part of a condition monitoring and plant reliability program. It will help you understand how unbalance creates high forces that rob rolling element bearings of their full lifetime. You will understand the different types of unbalance, including static, couple and dynamic unbalance and what you need to do to correct them. It will also show you ways to ensure that you are not chasing the wrong solution; how to make sure that the machine is out of balance and it's not another fault condition with similar symptoms. Yes, there are many instruments that will walk you through a balance job as you acquire data, but they assume you know the nuances of balancing. With a deeper understanding of balancing, you won't waste time on machines that don't need to be balanced, the job will go more smoothly and you will be able to deal with any problems that come up during the balancing process.

Our 3D animations and simulators will make it more interesting to learn precision balancing and the course is fully narrated; you don't need to read it and it's easier to understand. We also include a number of interactive simulators so you can see the interaction between unbalance, rotational speed and phase, and work with vectors. The course uses both imperial and metric equations and measurement data. We cover multiple balancing methods, including single plane vector and program, two-plane program, overhung machines using single and two plane methods, static/couple, and four run, no-phase balancing. We also explain tolerances so that you know that the balance quality you achieve is good.
