NDT Certification Course : Level I and Advanced Level II Infrared Thermography Course | March 14-17 - March 21-24,2023 | Makati PH

In compliance to industry standards our organization the Institute of Infrared Thermography follows the American Society of Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) and British Institute of Non-destructive Testing (BINDT). In Philippines, they follow ASNT.

 

Level I stated in the introduction into T/IR Inspection Test Technique. According to all NDT standards there are 3 Levels of Certification. Level 1 is only the beginning, being in the compliance standards must work under the guidance of Level II Certified individuals. Therefore at the Level 1 criteria are met, the L1 must advance to a Level 2 status.

Level 1 teaches the fundamentals infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, IR camera operation, condition monitoring (CM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) applications, image analysis and report generation.

Students are trained to identify and analyze thermal patterns caused by improper design, workmanship or material failure. Applications from most industries are covered, so you will be able to perform inspections at your site on your equipment and processes.

Specific applications include:

• electrical and mechanical systems
• steam systems
• process vessels, refractory, piping-above and underground
• building façade and energy loss
• moisture detection

To obtain maximum value from the infrared instrument, the course includes hands-on instrument operations teaching the basics of IR camera operation of your specific brand of infrared instrument. Owning an infrared camera is not required for attendance! But for learning, participants are encouraged to bring their own specific brand of camera to class.

After completing this course and fulfilling the course requirements, the attendees will be prepared to handle most industrial infrared applications, be able to collect accurate data, interpret infrared images and properly document the findings.

Who should take this course?

This course is for those with no prior experience and/or no formal training. This course is intended as an introduction for anyone using an infrared thermal imaging camera, or anyone interested in purchasing one.

The Level 1 course was concentrated on Qualitative thermography and performing a basic inspection. Level II is qualified to set up and calibrate equipment and interpret and evaluate results with respect to applicable codes, standards, and specifications. Should be thoroughly familiar with scope and limitations of methods for which qualified and should exercise assigned responsibility for on-the-job training and guidance of trainees and NDT Level I personnel. They should be able to organize and report the results.

The Level II is focused on Quantitative skills including making accurate temperature, emissivity and transmissivity measurements as well as setting repair prioritization improved accuracy and diagnosis.

With the goals of advancing any Infrared CM and PdM program, the course is designed to assist in strengthening and advancing inspection and IR Camera skills. Advanced theory, applications, equipment operations, standards compliance, thermal analysis, and inspection techniques are all presented in a simple, easy to learn fashion.

Course certificate, exam, one-on-one sessions, and post-course support are also included. Participants completing Level II infrared course requirements will receive an IRT thermography certification.

Trainer’s Profile :
Mr. Ron Newport, BSC. Elect. Eng.; FI. Diag. Eng.; Level III Thermographer

The Institute of Infrared Thermography (IRT) is the training division of the group of companies headed by the principle Mr. Ron Newport. The principle company, Global Condition Monitoring INC., provides training and education in Predictive Maintenance techniques as well as inspections and consulting services. His first company, Infraview Energy Analysis, was a successful IR inspection company that was started in 1977 at a time when thermography was virtually unknown for industrial applications. Ron has enjoyed a 35+ year career in Infrared Thermography and Predictive Maintenance. Today, he still performs inspections and training with partners around the world.
Mr Newport is an internationally acclaimed expert within the infrared industry and is recognised worldwide as the number one educator, developer, promoter of infrared thermography. He performed his first infrared course for Petrochemical Inspection Engineers from around the world in 1979. He was instrumental in developing the Level I and Level II courses. In 1984, he developed and conducted the first ever Level II thermography training course in the world.
