In some industries it is a life saver.
Applications of Infrared Thermography in Industry for Predictive Maintenance
Infrared thermal inspection (thermography) can be used today to benefit most industries. we have listed below some common applications. The list of applications is by no means exhaustive, if you are unsure how thermography might benefit your business please contact us today and one of our highly skilled thermographers will contact you as soon as possible for a no obligation consultation.
Oil, Gas and Petrochemical
Regular surveys of equipment such as rotating machines and electrical distribution, control and switch gear, helps toward lower down time rates and more production.
Marine
Full surveys of DP (Dynamic Position) vessels and general cargo or support vessels. These surveys help toward proof of planned maintenance for insurance and client surveys.
Building and Construction
Thermal Image surveys is used to inspect thermal efficiency of domestic housing and commercial buildings. Areas of heat loss and thermal transfer can be pick up and recorded.
Underfloor Heating
This can be checked for leakages or blockages. Thermal Inspection is an excellent way to find out exactly were underfloor heating pipes are, before rooms are modified or extended or new flooring nailed down!
Mechanical
Rotating machines create heat, excess heat usually means a problem. It may be failing belts or bearings but these can easily be picked up during a Thermal Image Inspection.
Pulp and Paper Mill
These can benefit from both electrical and mechanical surveys of plant and equipment. Again any faults found can be fixed before they become a problem leading to loss of production.
Distilleries
These are another area where thermal imaging can keep the production process flowing. Electrical and mechanical plant and equipment can be surveyed, again these surveys and reports help insurance inspection with proof of planned maintenance.
Refractory
Infrared thermography is a good way to spot failing or cracked insulation in refractory installations such as kilns etc.
Veterinarian
Thermal image inspection can be used to help vets check and diagnose animals with various medical problems. Horses with hoof and tendon problems are easily spotted with thermography.
Pipework
Pipework can be inspected and checked for several reasons. Pipework can be checked for blockages as flow restrictions cause temperature changes in the fluids or gases passing through the pipes. Valves can be checked to see if they are passing. Insulation can be surveyed to look for water saturated or just failing.
High Voltage Electricity
High voltage distribution systems can be surveyed to check for loose and overheating connections or insulators. Transformer oil levels can be seen. Thermal imaging helps to prevent down time and equipment failures in substations and power stations.
