Theory and Practice of Building Thermography Lecture
The purpose of the Theory and Practice of Building Thermography Online lecture is to introduce students to the basics of thermography, discuss the possibilities of building diagnostics using the method, draw attention to real limitations, and the necessary measurement (environmental) conditions. The lecture details the physical foundations necessary for the proper creation and evaluation of thermal images.
Building Thermography. About our company: We started our professional activities in 1993, and since 1997, under the name PIM, we have been at the disposal of our clients with a wide range of industrial measurement equipment, various sensors, rotating machinery diagnostic systems, machine alignment, as well as thermography equipment. In addition to product distribution, we offer industrial measurements, machine diagnostic expertise, laser machine alignment, dynamic balancing, instrument development, installation of complete systems, instrument and sensor calibration, and thermography services. Building on our decades of experience, we have been providing professional training in machine diagnostics, machine alignment, and thermography - already attended by thousands - for almost two decades. Instead, in the future, we offer professional online lectures to those interested. We compile our product range strictly based on the needs of our clients with an engineering perspective. We consider it important to only distribute products whose good qualities we have been able to verify in practice through our services, meaning we only offer instruments and technologies that have proven themselves in practice. We place great emphasis on ensuring that our products reach our customers at favorable prices, in a user-friendly, Hungarian-language version. This includes theoretical lectures and practical demonstrations, as well as Hungarian-language product presentations, user manuals, guides, computer and instrument software. Furthermore, we strive to even better meet domestic needs with our own developments and self-produced products.
