What are the uses of Infrared Thermography?
Thermography is playing an increasingly important role in facility maintenance, Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and predictive maintenance programs. Thermography detects hidden problems and allows for corrective action before costly system failures. Using IR Thermography can reduce downtime by avoiding unplanned shutdowns and by assisting in the timing and planning of scheduled maintenance thus allowing production time to be increased by maximizing equipment availability. Thermographic equipment can also provide valuable data in building maintenance. Common applications are: • Evaluation of roofing systems. • Detection of damp. • Heating and cooling system evaluation. • Heating and cooling loss detection. • Pressure vessel integrity checks.
