Snell Group Level 1 Infrared Thermography Certification Training.

Details 

	Snell Group Level I Infrared Thermography Certification Training
	A 32-hour course covering the theory and applications of infrared thermography in preventive maintenance applications, especially inspections of electrical and mechanical systems, approaches to production and process-related problems, and a general background in solving thermal problems. The participants, upon completion of the training, will have an understanding of the basic heat theory necessary for thermal work, will be able to capture clear thermograms and make basic inferences and diagnosis, and will be better able to employ the equipment to perform surveys. This will enable them to more fully incorporate this thermography into their existing maintenance programs to reduce unscheduled downtime, improve system performance and reduce maintenance costs.
	Level I material includes infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, operation of thermal imaging equipment and specific recommendations on how to make quality thermal images that are clear, concise and easy to interpret. Students are challenged daily with hands on demonstrations, experiments and inspection situations similar to those they will experience in their work. Students leave Snell training ready to put this amazing technology to work. This course fully meets the educational requirements for certification according to the published recommendations of ASNT. more...

Snell Group Level 2 Advanced Infrared Thermography Certification Training.

	Snell Group Level II Advanced Infrared Thermography Certification Training
	A 32-hour quantitative thermography course designed for practicing thermographers interested in advancing their knowledge and capabilities. This class covers advanced theory and applications of infrared thermography in predictive and preventive maintenance, quality assurance, condition monitoring and nondestructive testing of materials fields.
	Level II focuses on radiometric temperature measurement and the cases where 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 IR windows as well as the use and limitations of IR mirrors.
	The Level II course extends the knowledge gained in Level I 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 they will experience in the field. This course fully meets the educational requirements for certification according to the published recommendations of ASNT and The Snell Certification Standard. The class is open to everyone regardless of whether or not they own a thermal imager. Attendees that do have equipment are encouraged to bring their systems as there are a number of hands-on learning opportunities available during the week. more...
