Here starts a thermography learning portfolio consisting of 3 courses, followed by an application course: Building thermography, electrical thermography etc. In part 1 you learn the basic operation of thermal cameras. After the module, it is recommended to conduct some thermographing, before proceeding to part 2. During the course there are small thermography assignments and it is an advantage to have a thermography camera.
The focus of the course is to achieve the right thermographic recording and emphasize the most important elements to make a correct recording. Parts 2 and 3 then provide the necessary background knowledge to interpret thermographic images. It is important that the Range is set correctly and that there is thermal focus, which are the only elements that cannot be changed on a radiometric thermography image. These parts are highlighted here in thermography part 1.
Application area for thermography
Thermography today has a wide range of applications. The availability of thermal imaging cameras has become accessible to everyone, for example, they are available for cell phones from under 270€. Thermography with drones has also become a big application. Regardless of which thermal imaging camera you use, it requires thermal understanding to make a correct recording and to know what thermal patterns are needed.
Thermography applications
After the thermography courses parts 1 to 3, you can specialize in an application area. There is a course for electrical thermography, electrical boards and a building thermography course . There are many other applications of thermography and more courses are being added on demand. Thermography tasks can be many different things; Mechanical parts, flat roof leaks (included in the building thermography course), plastic molds, district heating leaks, horse saddle lining, horse diagnostics, building and electrical thermography.
Thermography Course portfolio
This online thermography course starts with basic operation and the next two parts describe the important thermal theory. Understanding thermal radiation, convection and heat conduction builds the foundation to start thermographing the specific applications you have a professional background in.
