GasFindIR Training Course
This course is intended for users of
the FLIR Systems, Inc. GasFindIR infrared camera. Skilled users of the new
GasFindIR camera can inspect over 3,000 connections per hour. Current sniffer
technology is limited to about 500 connections per day.
Students will learn how to setup and
operate the GasFindIR. They will learn how to optimally adjust their GasFindIR
for varying environmental conditions to find gas leaks. Students will learn
under what environmental conditions gas leaks are most easily found, somewhat
easy to find, and difficult to find.
The class will teach students what
gases can be found with the GasFindIR and leak size limitations. Some basic
infrared theory and heat transfer concepts will be introduced to build a strong
foundation for the students. No class can cover every circumstance, so an
understanding of how the GasFindIR works and what makes for optimum
environmental conditions is essential.
Lab and/or field practice in finding
leaks is a key part of this class. Students will learn by doing and by observing
numerous videos of leaks what to look for including thermal contrast, gas plume
motion, distance limitations, etc. Basic inspection procedures will be covered
including equipment checkout, route planning, permitting requirements, safety
practices/equipment and reporting concepts.
Upon successful completion of the
course, including passing a closed-book written exam, students will receive a
training certification for GasFindIR usage.
