Mobius Institute Infrared Thermography Category II Course Overview
MOBIUS INSTITUTE IRTCAT-II
Course Overview
Mobius Institute IRTCAT-II builds on Category I and develops the skills needed to perform more advanced infrared inspections, analysis and reporting.

Develop a stronger understanding of heat transfer, measurement accuracy, emissivity, reflections, environmental influences, camera setup, image analysis and reporting.

Registered students receive access to the Mobius Learning Zone for pre-study, course videos and post-course review.

Apply advanced infrared principles

Develop a deeper understanding of thermodynamics, thermal radiation, heat transfer, infrared detection and the factors that influence measurement accuracy.

Analyse thermal data and assess severity

Apply quantitative and qualitative image analysis, temperature compensation and severity assessment techniques to accurately evaluate thermal anomalies.

Diagnose faults and recommend action

Use advanced thermography to diagnose faults, assess equipment condition, recommend corrective action and support effective maintenance decisions.
