Training courses explain thermography
theory
A nationwide programme of week-long thermography training courses cover elementary theory and measurement techniques and provide essential hands-on camera experience.
Detecting faults before they develop into expensive failures is where thermal imaging excels Whether it's a bad electrical connection, a worn refractory lining, a faulty bearing, a corroded pipe or a damp wall, a key symptom of the problem is abnormal temperature

Thermal imaging keep delivering for Royal Mail
At the Royal Mail, all critical systems in every sorting office throughout the UK are checked every month, using FLIR Systems thermal imaging equipment
The affordable, uncooled thermal imaging camera
With the introduction of the new ThermaCAM SC500, FLIR Systems is able to extend the benefits of its patented solid state microbolometer detector techlogy to the R and D community.
This abnormality is clearly visible through an infra-red camera, enabling the operator to pinpoint the fault while the system is in operation.
To provide engineers with a thorough grounding in this technology, industry-leader Flir Systems International Training Centre (ITC) has just announced a nationwide programme of week-long seminars.
These UK Level 1 Certification Thermography Training Courses cover elementary theory and measurement techniques and provide essential hands-on camera experience.
A certificate is awarded on the successful completion of a 50-question multiple-choice test on the final day.
These courses are open to any thermographer, independent of the camera they use - delegates without a camera can contact Flir who can make a camera available for the duration of the course.
The first of the UK Level II courses has also been confirmed by Flir Systems.
This course provides the student with a greater theoretical understanding of infra-red thermography and focuses on application specific projects.
It is designed for those whose primary role is as a thermographer and who therefore need to study the subject in greater depth.
Confirmed dates are as follows: Monday 23rd to Friday 27th January 2006, Milton Keynes; Monday 20th to Friday 24th February 2006, Kent; Monday 20th to Friday 24th March 2006, Milton Keynes; Monday 15th to Friday 19th May 2006, Kent; Monday 19th to Friday 23rd June 2006, Dublin, Ireland; Monday 17th to Friday 21st July, Milton Keynes; Monday 18th to Friday 22nd September, Scotland; Monday 2nd to Friday 6th October, Kent, Level II; and Monday 20th to Friday 24th November, Milton Keynes.
Other courses available include "Thermography for building diagnostics" and "Thermography for R and D applications".
The ITC is also able to develop customised courses for specific users and industries to run in-house. Request free introductory details about products from Flir Systems ...
