The Level I course was concentrated on qualitative thermography and performing a basic inspection. 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.
The Level II thermographer should be thoroughly familiar with the scope and limitations of methods for which they are 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.
With the goals of advancing any infrared condition monitoring and predictive maintenance 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.
