A 32-hour class covering the theory and applications of infrared thermography in the preventive maintenance, quality assurance, condition monitoring and nondestructive testing of materials fields. This class focuses on qualitative thermography and collecting data and following proven and published inspection procedures. Upon completion, students can capture clear thermograms and make basic inferences and diagnoses.

Level 1 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 unique technology to work.

This course fully meets the educational requirements for certification in accordance with Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A, as defined by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing.

An overview of the most common applications includes:

• Electrical distribution systems
• Mechanical systems
• Steam systems
• Refractories
• Underground piping
• Active thermography
• Building envelopes
• Low-slope roofs
• Nondestructive testing of materials

Students learn the basic inspection techniques based on accepted industry and international inspection procedures.

The course is open to everyone regardless of whether or not they own a thermal imager. Attendees with equipment are encouraged to bring their systems, as several hands-on learning opportunities are available during the week.
