Definition

Thermography is a non-destructive, non-intrusive, non-contact means of detecting Infrared Radiation enabling the thermographer to see and measure accurate temperatures and variations in emitted infrared energy. Thermographic Imaging, commonly known as Hot Spot detection, is the most cost-effective method of determining faults in Electrical and Mechanical equipment for Industrial and Commercial businesses.

While electrical and mechanical inspections are two of the most common applications for Infrared Thermography, thermal imaging techniques can be applied to many other situations such as degradation of furnace walls, aircraft, buildings, flat roofs and analysing energy losses caused typically by poor or inadequate insulation.

Loss Prevention, Catastrophic Failure and Predictive Maintenance are an extremely important application for Infrared Thermography. A regular Thermal Imaging Survey and development of a condition monitoring program for your electrical and mechanical equipment can reduce the risk of fire, highlight any potential problems and allow preventive maintenance to be carried out before issues become more severe.
