Infrared Thermography Services

Infrared Thermography Services

Definition

Infrared thermography services are the process of using a thermal imager to detect radiation (heat) coming from an object, converting it to temperature, and displaying an image of the temperature distribution. Images of the detected temperature distribution are called thermograms, and they make it possible to see heat-producing objects invisible to the naked eye. It's widely-used in predictive maintenance and condition monitoring

Can be tested under load to avoid costly system shutdowns

Infrared thermography services are a valuable tool for condition monitoring and preventive maintenance. Not only does it allow you to detect thermal abnormalities of machines, but it lets you do so in a non-intrusive, hands-off way while still getting results in real-time.

Thermographers usually employ one of three methods when performing thermal inspections: Comparative, Baseline and Thermal Trending. Determining which method to use comes down to the type of equipment you're testing and the type of data you want to

Comparative Thermography

Comparative thermography is used to measure the temperature of similar components under similar conditions. By comparing the results, useful information about the components' condition is obtained, thanks to the uncovering of hidden problems. Comparative thermography comparisons can be quantitative or qualitative. Quantitative inspections measure precise temperature and/or temperature distribution and are typically performed by a highly trained thermographer.

Qualitative inspections focus on the differences in temperature rather than actual temperatures. Nearly all (90 percent) industrial and mechanical applications for modern thermography are qualitative, but using quantitative measurements in tandem with qualitative measurements can help determine the severity of the condition as well as the problem itself.

Baseline Thermography

Baseline thermography is used to set a precedent or establish a reference point for an asset by taking temperature readings when the asset is in good working order. It is used in comparison with other thermal images to identify potential issues early. It's recommended to take baseline measurements on all critical assets when they are new or have just been repaired.

Thermal Trending Thermography

Just as trends show changes over time, thermal-trending thermography shows how temperature is dispersed in a component or asset over time. It's a great method for looking at mechanical equipment with complex thermal signatures or when thermal signatures develop slowly. A great example of using thermal trending is monitoring high-temperature refractory insulation in a boiler over time to help determine a proper maintenance schedule that minimizes downtime.
