Mechanical Thermology

Information

The Mechanical Thermology hybrid training program is designed to equip maintenance and reliability professionals with both hands-on skills and theoretical knowledge to perform mechanical thermography inspections.

Through a combination of on-demand online coursework and a two-day in-person workshop, participants learn how to use infrared thermal imaging to detect and diagnose issues in mechanical systems—before failures occur.

Course Includes:

• Online Prerequisite Module Introduction to the Science of Thermology Delivered on-demand with a unique registration code.
• Two-Day In-Person Workshop Taught by a seasoned thermography expert with 20 years of field experience at: WKU Innovation Campus, Bowling Green, KY

Topics Covered

Participants will train on real-world applications including:

• Belts, bearings, motors
• HVAC components
• Bus ducts and switchgear
• Cold storage and transformers
• Image capture, tuning, diagnostics
• Report writing and NFPA 70B compliance
• Route and program development
• Review of hundreds of real-world infrared images

Who Should Attend
