INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS:
The applications where Infrared Thermography can be used is practically limitless. There are alway new ways in which this technology can be used to assist in diagnostics.
Most people relate Infrared with the military (Gulf War) and the movies (Predator). But this is not even the tip of the iceburg.
Today Infrared is being used in fields such as Medical (Breast Cancer Screening), Veterinarian (Lameness in Horses), Research and Development, etc...
The actual fact is once there is some kind of temperature involved in your application, Infrared Thermography can be used.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS:
What if there was a way of knowing if there is a problem with your equipment before it failed and to know without stopping production. Well there is: "Infrared Thermography"!! Usually whenever there's a problem with mechanical or electrical equipment, there's some kind of heat (or lack of it) involved. By inspecting your equipment with Infrared Thermography it's like looking in a crystal ball because you can actually predict which piece of equipment is most likely prone to failure or breakdown. ALL OF THIS IS DONE WHILE YOUR PLANT IS ONLINE!! ABSOLUTELY NO PRODUCTION LOSS!!
The following are but a few areas where Infrared Thermography can be used in Industrial Applications:
- Rotating Machinery Diagnostics (Bearings, Belt Tension, Misalignment & Imbalance, Windings, etc..)
- Vacuum & Pressure Leaks (Boilers, Valves, Pumps, Compessors, etc..)
- Electrical Equipment Diagnostics (Connection Problems, Overloading, Design Defects, Harmonics, etc..)
- Delamination of composite joints/products
- Structural Stress Diagnostics (Steel Bridges, Transmission Towers, etc..)
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.....
