Industrial Thermography Inspections
Predictive maintenance with IR analysis to detect thermal anomalies before they become failures.
- Rapid detection of thermal anomalies
- Failure prevention and reduced downtime
- Maintenance planning by ΔT severity
Method
- Planning and selection of critical areas/assets
- IR/visible acquisition with controlled emissivity parameters
- ΔT analysis versus references/peer components in service
- Severity classification and intervention priority
- Reporting and follow‑up after corrective actions
Note: ΔT severity classes and priorities are documented in the report.
Deliverables
- PDF report with list of anomalies and priorities
- Thermal and visible images referenced to assets
- Severity classes and risk estimation
- Recommended corrective actions and timing
Reference Standards
- NFPA 70B:2023 (reference for electrical maintenance programs)
FAQ
How often should IR inspections be performed?
Typically annually; more frequent for critical assets or poor history.
Do we need to stop the plant?
Generally no: thermography is more effective under meaningful, safe load.
Which thermal accuracy do you adopt?
Radiometric cameras with low NETD; ΔT is compared among homogeneous components.
How is ΔT severity defined?
By differential against peer components and conditions; class guides priority.
