Infrared
Fundamentals for R&D and Testing
Training Course
October 1-4, 2007 Fairfield,
New Jersey

In the thermal imaging world,
whether the application is product development, target signature,
non-destructive testing, quality control or something more exotic,
obtaining the optimal results requires that the thermal imaging
equipment and associated software must be properly matched with
the application. However, hardware and software are only part of
the equation. A huge part of success in any application is the
knowledge and training that the operator has achieved. Without
proper training most users of thermal imaging systems will not
get the most out of their equipment and therefore the results.
Electrophysics has
partnered with Snell
Infrared to be our supplier of thermal imaging for Research,
Development, and Testing applications. Snell Infrared is a world
leader in the
training and certification of thermographers with over 20 years
of experience. The folks at Snell have organized a training course
that specializes in the demanding needs of our R&D customers.
We invite you to learn more about this exciting training program. |

Now, the experts at Electrophysics can work
with our clients to assure that they are using the proper hardware
and software to meet their application needs. Snell Infrared can
provide professional training to insure that the user can unlock
the intricacies of the equipment and the applications. It is a
Win/Win/Win situation!
Tuition: The cost for
registration for this course is $1,750 and includes all the costs
associated with this
infrared training program (the course and materials) as well as
breakfast and lunch for each course day. |

 Greg
McIntosh is a registered professional engineer specializing in
heat transfer and thermodynamics. He has decades of practical
experience in the thermal Infrared imaging industry working for
private industry, consulting, government and IR manufacturers.
He started the first North American
Infrared Training Center for AGA Infrared Systems (now FLIR Systems)
in 1979. He has trained thousands of thermographers — some
of whom are leading industrial experts and trainers in the field
today. In 1981 he helped establish the curriculum and was a principal
trainer for the Joint Public Works Canada/GSA North American
Building Training Course — the very first certification
course for infrared thermographers. |
|
After his automation company, Viewscan
Ltd., was purchased by AGEMA Infared, he held positions as Technical
Director for AGEMA North America, Vice President of AGEMA Automation,
and after their merger with FLIR Systems, Product Manager of
Automation Products.
Drawing on his diversified background in engineering, thermal
imaging, automation and training he has helped many companies
successfully implement their infrared programs in research, product
development and testing. He has written training manuals and published
practical guides and papers on applied thermography, including
a chapter in the handbook, The Theory and Practice of Radiation
Thermometry. He has sat on numerous technical and standard
committees and was chairman of SPIE ThermoSense XI in 1989. |

Agenda
This 4-day, 32-hour course provides an excellent
opportunity to learn and explore all of the issues related to
using infrared thermography for solving new and unique research,
design, development and test applications. An extensive variety
of topics will be covered including:
- The variety and types of infrared imaging equipment
- The basics of infrared imaging and radiometry
- Heat transfer, thermodynamic and material issues
affecting infrared imaging
- Implementing sound test methodology using infrared
equipment
- Measurement errors, how to account for and minimize
them
- Different analytical methods for qualitatively
and quantitatively analyzing infrared data
- How to evaluate and choose the appropriate infrared
equipment for specific tasks
- How others have implemented successful test and
research programs
|
|
Who should attend?
- Scientists, researchers, engineers or technicians
involved in heat transfer and thermodynamics and temperature
measurement
- Production and process test engineers
- Engineering Consultants
- Thermographers who want to expand their knowledge
beyond predictive maintenance
- Anyone involved in using or managing infrared
thermography for new or unprecedented applications
There is no prerequisite for this
course. Cameras and software will be available for use if you do
not yet own thermal imaging equipment. |
