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.
