Thermography course
with Drone
ENTRUST YOUR TRAINING TO COMPETENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS WITH APR
This course is aimed at everyone even without experience in the field of thermography and who wish tospecialize in thermography for inspectionsof systems in the energy sector (photovoltaic, power lines, district heating) andconstruction (insulation, infiltration, dispersion for energy classification and much more.)
In addition to an importantinitial theoretical part,practical exercises will be carried out such as the correct setting of the instrumentation before and during theflight with the drone in order toidentify any anomaly .
Flight operationswith drone will be carried out inboth manual and automatic mode to highlight the potential of each of the two methods in detecting thermal anomalies.
Our DJI Matrice 300 equipped with a FLIR XT2 640 30HZ thermal imaging camera with 19mm lens will be used.
At the end of the theory and practical acquisition part, thetechnical analysis phase of the radiometric imageswill be carried out using the specific FLIR Tools software in order to generate acorrect and consistent thermographic report for the purpose of the survey.
The course will be delivered at the APRFLYTECH headquarters (Via Costantino Nigra, 2 in Paderno Dugnano MI).
