About Thermal Imaging
Thermal Image scanning is a preventative maintenance process which assists in the reduction of emergency maintenance costs, providing asset protection and life preservation on electrical and mechanical equipment, it is an excellent condition monitoring tool used to carry out Non Destructive Testing. While the equipment is online and running under full load, you are able to monitor temperatures and thermal patterns allowing for early detection of faults indicated by a rise in temperature.
Infrared thermal imaging can be used on a wide variety of electrical and mechanical equipment unlike most other test methods. Faults detected at an early stage can be investigated or repaired as part of your routine maintenance program or as a planned shutdown, thus reducing the risk of unnecessary and costly breakdowns.
Thermal Imaging is an electronic technique which quite literally allows us to see thermal energy and temperature rises. Nationwide Thermography Services has recognised infrared thermal imaging as one of the most versatile and effective condition monitoring tools available today. It can assist in detecting equipment failure and allow disasters to be prevented rather than be repaired.
Infrared thermal inspections are usually recommended every 12 months, although more frequent inspections may be required depending on environmental conditions.
Benefits of a Thermal Inspection Service
- Preventing unexpected downtime repairing equipment that can be avoided.
- Reducing the loss of revenue if machinery or electrical equipment fails.
- Reduce risk of personal harm to you, your staff and your customers.
- Reduction in expensive repair costs of faulted and connected equipment.
Description of Service
Perform a qualitative infrared inspection of electrical distribution equipment as directed by client personnel / representative.
Infrared inspection to be performed by a Level One Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer® using a Trotec High Resolution Model IC120LV thermal imager. Inspection of panels and switchboards to be performed on-foot , overhead power lines from a motor vehicle at night for best results due to solar reflection interference.
Infrared inspections can be performed on a 7-day week basis, 12 hours per day, generally between the hours of 6 am till 6 pm. Start and finish times can be negotiated for power line service inspections and any other equipment that may need to be scanned after hours.
All work to be performed in accordance with currently accepted industry practice and the Infraspection Institute Standard for Infrared Inspection of Electrical Systems and Rotating Equipment, a copy of which is available upon request.
Upon completion of infrared inspection, our thermographer will provide a written report of findings. Our report will include a complete listing of all items inspected, thermograms, corresponding visible-light images and description of all detected exceptions along with recommendations for repair. The report will be provided in hardcopy and or electronic format.
