| Programme | ||
| 14.00-14.05 | Welcome and introductions | Karen Cambridge BINDT, UK |
| 14.05-14.25 | Electrical thermography case study: using tools to assist the thermal imager shows a problem much greater than the temperature rise would suggest | Joseph DeMonte T5 Data Centers, USA Joseph DeMonte, ASNT TIR Level III, PCN IR committee member and is currently IR program manager for T5 Data Systems. Prior experience includes technical director for ABM and its TEGG Service Division, senior infrared instructor for FLIR/ITC, USA, infrared program manager for Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station and nuclear propulsion operator for submarines in the US Navy. |
| 14.25-14.45 | Affordable online thermography Industry 4.0, industrial internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) have affected vibration monitoring but has mainly left the world of thermography untouched… until now. Just like the MEMS accelerometer, with its intelligence and communication protocols, has disrupted the vibration monitoring field, these devices will change the approach to condition monitoring (CM) using infrared. A low-cost, low-resolution detector that can be battery-powered has meant that infrared monitoring of control panels is within the budget of the electrical engineer. Items that were considered inaccessible and/or unable to be surveyed are neither. | David Manning-Ohren ERIKS Industrial Services Ltd, UK David is a time-served engineer with ERIKS Industrial Services Ltd, UK, having over 30 years in the CM field, a fact recognised by both the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), where he sits on various committees overseeing competence and standards with respect to CM. He is currently the vice-chair of the BINDT CM Sub-Committee. In 2022, David was awarded the COMADIT Prize for the development of wireless CM and a unique way of analysing big data and industrial IoT. Within ERIKS, David is currently responsible for all CM practices in the UK and Ireland and constantly strives for better and slicker ways of knowing the condition of ERIKS products in the field. He is particularly proud of his team of field-based engineers, most of whom have served an apprenticeship with ERIKS and are continuing to grow. |
| 14.45-15.05 | The use of thermography to enhance energy performance surveys of buildings | John Magna Infrared Training Ltd, UK Pre and post energy upgrades, building regulations compliance testing, BREEAM MAN 04, LEED certification and ISO 50001 certification. BINDT PCN Level 3 General, Electrical and Civil Thermographer and ITC Level 3. John is a thermographer with a wide range of expertise across various applications. He is a specialist in building thermography and energy performance investigations. He is also a trainer of infrared thermography and air tightness testing for UK-based Infrared Training Ltd. John was a technical advisor and board member for the UK iATS Air Tightness Testers Scheme at its inception, which involved gaining authorisation from the then UK Department of the Environment, Communities & Local Government (DECLG). He is a desk and on-site auditor for the iATS Scheme and post the Elmhurst takeover of the scheme. John was an energy consultant for the Tipperary Energy Agency ‘Sustainable Energy for the Rural Village Environment’ project in 2009 and ‘Local Authority Housing Stock Upgrade’ project in 2010. |
| 15.05-15.25 | Examples of advanced thermography – Optical gas imaging including assisting meeting methane reduction targets | Mark Murray Inspectahire, UK Mark has been a user of thermographic cameras industrially for over 20 years, both on and offshore. He is a trainer of infrared thermography – optical gas imaging for the Infrared Training Center (ITC). Undertaking surveys using optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras in their various forms, including airborne, both here in the UK and overseas. |
| 15.25-15.45 | Panel session with Q&A | |
Organised by the BINDT Infrared Thermography Working Group.
