Abstract

The realities involved in performing thermographic diagnostic surveys are often not well understood by the therrnographer. With an interest in the growth of the thermographic coimnunity, and an understanding that proper application promotes growth, equipment manufacturers have considered training and education a worthwhile investment. This paper summarizes the training and technical assistance experience of one manufacturer as a recommended body of knowledge for thermographers. Five key areas are presented: Radiosity, Spatial Resolution, Heat Transfer, Equipment Operation, and Target Behavior.
