Infrared Thermography is an exciting technology with diverse applications used in numerous industries. Infrared thermography inspection range from predictive and preventive maintenance (P/PM) to condition monitoring, from nondestructive testing (NDT) to research and development (R&D), from process control to quality control, and from building diagnostics to security and surveillance. The list of applications for thermography is almost endless and is limited only by your imagination.

The ability to reduce plant
operating costs and unscheduled downtime is key in competitive
industries. Studies have shown that dollar for dollar, investments
in predictive/preventative maintenance and product quality programs
yield immediate returns to a customerˇ¦s ˇ§bottom line.ˇ¨ Typical
payback on IR services is realized within the first few months.
Infrared inspections should be conducted yearly to spot temperature
increases, and diagnose new potential problem areas while they
are small and manageable. Critical operating equipment and/or
special process machinery should be inspected more often to
insure maximum efficiency.
