Course Overview
Level 1 sUAS Thermography provides practical techniques for beginners and experienced thermographers wishing to get the most from their drone-based thermal imaging system. This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation, and temperature measurement using drone-based thermal imaging equipment. It also covers several applications including infrared inspections of electrical systems, mechanical systems, photovoltaic installations, underground piping, building envelopes, low-slope roofing systems, and environmental studies. Students are trained to identify and document thermal patterns caused by improper design, workmanship, or material failure. Specific applications include: electrical distribution systems, mechanical systems, steam systems, refractory systems, underground piping, active thermography, building envelopes, and flat roofs.
