Thermal Imaging is the very latest service being demanded by maintenance professionals. It provides a rapid means of identifying problem areas, and locating faults that are not detectable using conventional methods.
As there is no surface contact, surveys can be carried out under normal working conditions, with minimal or no interruption or disruption of plant operations.
Measuring the temperature of anomalies and hotspots or coldspots gives an indication of fault severity. This allows remedial work to be prioritised, and response by maintenance team can be scheduled. Thermal imaging is a valuable tool for predictive maintenance, rather than reactive maintenance.
