STARTING, MARKETING AND MANAGING AN IR CONSULTING

COMPANY

As the science of thermography expands, it continues to attract individuals and companies looking for business opportunities. Despite the acceptance of thermography, many companies struggle or fail at their attempts in offering this proven technology. Success in any consulting businesses requires a combination of technical and business skills and thermography is no exception. Starting, Marketing and Managing and IR Consulting Company online course will focus on the fundamentals required to start, market and maintain an infrared consulting company. Intended audience: This material is intended for anyone wishing to start an infrared consulting business or to expand the service offerings of an established business. Course is designed for beginners and experienced thermographers. Length of presentation: 40 minutes Course availability: 24 hours from time of purchase Prerequisite: None

TEMPERATURE LIMITS FOR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL

EQUIPMENT

Qualitative thermography is an invaluable tool for detecting thermal patterns that often precede failures within operating electrical and mechanical systems. Once an exception has been thermographically detected, temperature measurement can be used to help evaluate the condition of affected component. Temperature measurement can also be used to evaluate components that appear to be operating normally. Temperature Limits for Electrical and Mechanical Equipment course is a short online module covering the application of temperature limits for electrical and mechanical equipment as well as several methods for determining repair priorities. Intended audience: This material is intended for anyone wishing to understand how to properly apply temperature limits to operating electrical and mechanical equipment. Course is designed for beginners and experienced thermographers, electricians, mechanics, and facility managers. Length of presentation: 38 minutes Course availability: 24 hours from time of purchase Prerequisite: None

NINE STEPS FOR SETTING UP AN INFRARED INSPECTION

PROGRAM

Aside from proper equipment, training, and experience, a company’s success with thermography can be greatly influenced by the design and implementation of an appropriate inspection program. A program is an engineered predictive maintenance approach that will provide a system for instituting, adapting, and continually improving infrared inspection activities to provide long-term value and maximum payback to the facility. Such programs may be instituted by an in-house inspection team or professional consulting firms providing contract services for their client’s facilities. The Nine Steps for Setting Up an Infrared Inspection Program is a short online course covering the key steps in setting up and managing an infrared inspection program. Intended audience: This material is intended for anyone wishing to understand how the key steps in setting up and maintaining an infrared inspection program Course is designed for beginners and experienced thermographers, maintenance professionals, and facility managers Length of presentation: 22 minutes Course availability: 24 hours from time of purchase Prerequisite: None

INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY FOR BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS

During the past few years, one of the largest growth areas in thermography has been in the area of Building Sciences. Despite present myths, infrared inspections of buildings are not ‘simply point and shoot’. In fact, infrared inspections of building envelopes and associated systems remain some of the most complex types of infrared inspections. Accurate interpretation of data depend upon proper selection of an infrared imager, a thorough understanding of the systems inspected, interaction of these systems with their surroundings, and the thermal patterns associated with defects. The Infrared Thermography For Building Diagnostics short online course will focus on common applications and key considerations for performing accurate infrared inspections of buildings and their subsystems. Intended audience: This material is intended for anyone wishing to understand the application, uses, and benefits of infrared thermography as a building diagnostics tool. Course is designed for in-house and contract thermographers, home and building inspectors, construction personnel, and mold investigators. Length of presentation: 89 minutes Course availability: 24 hours from time of purchase Prerequisite: None

HOW TO CHECK INFRARED EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION

Calibration is a topic of interest to anyone that performs measurements. Calibration laboratories utilized by infrared equipment manufacturers often represent huge capital investments in hardware and software. Calibration procedures are not only complex, they are also proprietary to each manufacturer prohibiting an unauthorized third party from making any adjustments to an infrared radiometer. While it is not practical to attempt to duplicate a formal calibration laboratory, it is possible for thermographers to perform a simple calibration check within their own facilities with a minimum of equipment and expense. Having this capability allows thermographers to ensure that their equipment is operating within specification while avoiding the cost and downtime associated with calibrations performed by the infrared equipment manufacturer. How to Check Infrared Equipment Calibration is short online course discussing simple, yet effective techniques for calibrating infrared equipment. The techniques demonstrated are complaint with accepted industry practice and ISO standards. Intended audience: This material is intended for anyone wishing to perform a calibration check of their infrared equipment. Course is designed for in-house and contract thermographers, maintenance personnel, and managers of infrared inspection programs. Length of presentation: 27 minutes Course availability: 24 hours from time of purchase Prerequisite: None

NFPA 70E – ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE

The National Fire Protection Association has been publishing NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces since 1979.

IR BODY TEMPERATURE SCREENING

Infrared Body Temperature Screening is a 5 unit theory and application course for the use of thermal imaging to detect elevated body temperature in humans. This is a specialized course focused on a single application. Course is equivalent to a five hour classroom course with a two hour period allotted for the online exam at the end of the course. Course completion may be applied toward training requirements for Level I, II, or III thermographer certification. This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, current regulations, standards compliance, screening area setup and procedures, adjunctive equipment, and safety issues. The course is designed for program managers and for operators of infrared body temperature screening systems. Students are trained to set up and operate both purpose-built and industrial grade thermal imagers suitable for human body temperature screening. Self directed learning activities are provided to help student gain practical experience; however, one need not have an infrared imager to successfully complete the course. Course tuition includes 24/7 access to all online course presentations, downloadable Student Reference Manual, online exam, and written proof of course completion. Student must complete training within 14 days of registration. Prerequisite: None
