What are Thermographic Surveys?
Infrared thermography is a proactive troubleshooting and preventative maintenance tool. It enables us (the operators) and you (the client) to uncover any potential issues and resolve them before they cause further disruption.
Conventional techniques such as impedance testing and torque checking have a relatively low effectiveness in detecting and preventing failure. However, thermal imaging (using a heat sensitive camera) is a technique for making invisible infrared radiation visible. It is the non-contact on-line mapping and analysis of thermal patterns from the surface of an object that can be employed to detect these temperature rises or “hot spots”. Identification of hot spots can be used to recommend remedial works, reducing the number of defects and improving reliability, all of which are normally undetectable
