Thermographic

Thermography is a technique of analyzing the thermal characteristics of an object from its infrared image, captured through non contact thermal imaging device. Infrared thermography allows us to see heat energy radiated by objects (Both cold and hot bodies emit this type of energy).

The main advantage of infrared thermography over the destructive testing techniques is that large areas can be scanned fast and with no need to be destroyed during testing. This results in major savings in time, people, work and machinery.

Thermography can support the maintenance of industrial plants and equipment with its fast and cost-effective application. This non-contact technique is used in a variety of sectors such as power plants, petrochemical plants, refineries and steel industry, and application ranges from inspection of boiler areas and transformers to electrical rooms and storage tanks, among many others.

Early detection of problems using thermography can help in preventing unscheduled outages; improve the productivity of plant equipment and assets, increase safety and guide corrective action. Temperature differences can highlight a range of problems such as corrosion and erosion, bad insulation, as well as flaws in materials or structures such as disbonds, voids or inclusions.

As nearly everything becomes hot before it fails, thermography is an important diagnostic tool for finding deterioration. Objects or areas showing exceptionally low thermal energy may indicate loss of power and energy faults.
