Frequently Asked Questions
What is Infrared Thermography Testing?
Infrared Thermography Testing is a non-destructive diagnostic tool that uses thermal imaging to detect and analyze temperature variations in electrical and mechanical systems.
How does infrared thermography work?
Thermography uses specialized cameras to capture infrared radiation (heat) emitted by objects, creating images that show temperature differences and help identify potential problem areas.
​
What types of issues can infrared thermography detect?
It can detect overheating electrical components, loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing mechanical parts, insulation issues, and more.
​
Is Infrared Thermography Testing safe?
Yes, it is a non-invasive and safe method that can be conducted without shutting down equipment or disrupting operations.
What industries benefit from infrared thermography?
Industries like manufacturing, construction, healthcare, energy, and facilities management widely use thermography for predictive maintenance and safety.
​
How often should I schedule thermography inspections?
Inspections are typically recommended annually, though high-demand systems or critical equipment may require more frequent checks.
​
Can infrared thermography help reduce costs?
Absolutely. By detecting issues early, it prevents costly repairs, reduces downtime, and improves energy efficiency, delivering significant cost savings over time.
What equipment is tested using infrared thermography?
Absolutely. By detecting issues early, it prevents costly repairs, reduces downtime, and improves energy efficiency, delivering significant cost savings over time.
​
Do I need to prepare my systems before an inspection?
Systems should be operational during testing to capture accurate heat readings, but no special preparation is usually required.
What happens after the inspection?
You’ll receive a detailed report with thermal images, findings, and recommendations for addressing identified issues, enabling proactive maintenance.​
