Heat sensing to pinpoint faults is now for hire
For many companies a 'thermascan' is a name applied to a professional thermographic survey that pinpoints faults before they become fatalities.
Attendees who register by June 30, 2006 will receive five free nights lodging, a free guest pass, and a $100 gift card.
"Last year's InfraMation Conference was a huge success with the largest number of attendees, speakers, and presenters," says Robert Madding, director of the Infrared Training Center and Conference Co-Chair.
"Each year, dozens of abstracts are submitted for presentation at the conference, and the top forty are picked to represent the nation's best practices for infrared thermography.

InfraMation provides many extraordinary opportunities for thermographers of all skill levels, including those who are just starting to research the benefits of infrared and want to get a feel for the cameras and applications.
Professional thermographers will benefit from the ability to renew and maintain their thermography certification by attending InfraMation clinics, and be challenged with new thermography principles and methodologies.
Clinics for the 2006 conference cover diverse fields such as mechanical applications, building science, research and development applications, the new ThermaCAM GasFindIR, ThermaCAM Reporter 7 software, equine thermography, and thermographer safety.
"By attending InfraMation, thermographers not only learn how to better operate infrared cameras, but also optimally interpret the results, enabling them to more easily identify and diagnose the real-world issues that affect and enhance both their jobs and the companies they work for," explained Dr Robert Madding, PhD, Director, Infrared Training Center.
"Attendees benefit through presentations and clinics that highlight real-world applications, providing expert tutorial and examples of how properly applied infrared thermography benefits through cost savings and most importantly - increased worker and structural safety." InfraMation 2006 will cover how infrared thermography benefits many applications such as plant predictive maintenance, thermal research and development, on-line process monitoring and control, and non-destructive testing, along with many others.
Thermographers will learn how to get the highest return on investment from their infrared cameras.
