About infrared thermography

Thermal imaging, also called thermography, is the production of non-contact infrared or “heat” pictures from which temperature measurements can be made. By detecting anomalies often invisible to the naked eye, thermography allows corrective action before costly system failures occur. Portable infrared cameras scan equipment and structures, then instantly convert the thermal images to pictures for monitoring or quantitative temperature analysis.
 
Thermal imaging has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for Predictive Maintenance.
It increases plant efficiency and maximizes safety in many industrial environments including electrical generating and manufacturing facilities. Also the building industry has since long discovered the advantages of infrared.
