Infrared Thermographic Testing

Fundamentals – all objects emit

electromagnetic

radiation above 0 K

–the temperature of

objects are

estimated by

measuring the

radiated energy – Anomolities are

observed on the

selected region of an

object

Equipment – thermal imager (camera)

Radiation sensitive detector

(array) – photon (quantum)

or thermal

ElectronicsOptics

Current Situation in Market

The need for qualified thermographers

good quality thermograms = accurate inspection results

Therefore personnel performing infrared thermography

must be well trained and qualifiedintroduction of european and/or international personnel

certification systems

transparent and well defined qualification

requirements for all thermographers.Certificate issued: the proof of competence.


12. Juni 2013

Third-party certification – Worldwide acceptance – Comparable qualification




20

Conclusion

infrared thermographic testing requires qualified

personnel – different certification systems exist -

EN ISO 9712 – a third-party (employer independent)

certification system, defines the requirements forqualification of TT personnel

The market and all parties in it benefit from the

inspections done by qualified thermographers who are

certified in meaningful, well-defined and transparent ways.
