Level III: Certification Course

This course is provided to advance a Level II Thermographer to the level where they are able to initiate, develop, implement and manage a successful Infrared Condition Monitoring Program. The course will provide an understanding of the information necessary to oversee and direct other thermographers performance as well as be capable of field training and examining Level I and II personnel.

This course covers advanced topics related to heat transfer analysis, current industry certification criteria, and how to develop and implement standards and procedures compliant written practices and methods, marketing and promoting an infrared inspection program, interpret codes, standards and designate the particular condition monitoring and NDT methods to be used.   The Level III is responsible for designing and implementing a written practice in accordance with the employer’s need to provide written procedures and purchase suitable equipment.

Course Objectives

• Recognizing key elements of a successful IR Thermography program.
• Integrate predictive maintenance technologies
• Understanding the process used to create an IR procedure.
• Identifying safety requirements for thermographers and accompanying personnel for IR surveys.
• Prevent reoccurring problems by identifying failure mechanisms
• Identify and specify safe practices for your company
• Creating a custom IR report template and proper reporting procedures.
• Understand and meet the requirements of OSHA, DOE, NFPA, INPO and other regulatory agencies
• Developing a written practice for Level I, Level II and Level III thermographers.

Prerequisite

A course completion certificate from a Level II thermography training is required to attend the LIII Course.

Non-Vendor Biased * Hands-on Learning

How would it be if we can extend our sense of hearing so that we can hear the sounds that are too high for us to hear? Do we really want to do that? Of course, if it means that it will help save the planet, our jobs, and it will help us understand our machines more.

Extend your sense of hearing! You’ll be fascinated at the sounds that you will hear. What does your machine trying to tell you? Can you accurately locate the 8 psi differential pressure gas leak in a very noisy environment? 

Yes, you can locate that leak and yes, you can understand what your machine is telling you. Use your expanded hearing capability (ultrasonic detector to your ears) and know how to interpret what you hear. Use airborne ultrasound to troubleshoot the equipments in your facility and measure the sound level. What does the measurement mean? What are you hearing? 

After you take our Level 1 Ultrasound Certification Course, you will know what to do with the measurements, how to interpret what you hear, and learn proper inspection methods, regardless of the brand and make of your ultrasonic equipment, AND regardless of your current level of ultrasound experience.

Imagine being able to diagnose machine faults. Is it bearing problem? Imbalance? Looseness? What is spectra resolution?

This non-vendor biased course is designed for those with little or no vibration analysis background. We cover the basic principles in order to give a good understanding on machine vibration analysis. It does not matter who the manufacturer of your vibration analyzer is, if you already have one. The important thing is that you know how to do analysis and take proper readings to ensure that your data is valid.

The course also follows the ISO guidelines for certification.

Hands-on exercises relating to machine preparation, datalogging, and spectra interpretation will be done in class on the 3rd day of the training. This hands-on experience gives the student a much better feel on what he will be doing in the field so that when he goes back to his workplace, he will be in a much better preparedness to do vibration analysis.

A 4-hour certification exam on the 5th day will be given to those who are looking at becoming a certified vibration analyst.

We give trainings all over the world. We want you to be successful and confident in doing machine vibration analysis. It does not matter where you are. We will come and deliver the training provided a big enough class can be organized. The trainings can be done at a public conference room or at your own training location. Training is given by a Level 3 field experienced vibration analyst.
