Level I Infrared Thermography Manila Philippines

The Institute of infrared Thermography is the #1 global independent provider of infrared PdM Training
and Education No matter where you are in the world. IRT is able to provide the education you require,
infrared camera operations and certification or application course on your site or ours!

Level I
This course is designed to meet and exceed ASNT SNT-TC-1A. BINDT CM/IRT, the European standard and
ISO. At the Institute, we understand the importance to attain a theoretical background to any technique
prior to attempting to perform inspections. Once the technology and technique is fully understood, an
in-depth results orientated program can be initiated. This course will present case studies that present
real problems that the thermographer will experience in the field. To obtain maximum value from the
infrared instrument, the course includes daily hands-on instrument operation that will teach the basics
of the camera operation as well as the detailed operational features of your specific brand of infrared
instrument.

Owning an infrared camera is not required for attendance1 but for learning participants are encouraged
to bring their own specific brand of camera to class.

Applications from most industries will be covered, so you will be able to perform inspections at your site
on your equipment and processes.

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.
