The basis of Thermographic Infrared Inspections is formed by comparison of temperatures
when measured against other temperatures observed in surrounding or similar components. These variations in temperature often
reveal some sort of abnormal operation:
Infrared Inspections are one of the most cost-effective predictive maintenance tools available:
The cost of a thorough inspection by a professional Thermographer will
be paid for many times by the elimination of just one failure:
A Thermographic
camera is used to identify warmer to HOT objects because they stand out against cooler objects:
In
the case of electrical switchboards a thermal camera can detect hot spots that are not visible to the naked eye:
