Thermography

TI Questions

Thermography and Thermal Imaging

The visual non contact method of sensing and measuring temperature
The discipline of Thermography and Thermal Imaging has probably seen the most advances of any PdM technique in the last ten years.

Imagers have become smaller, detectors have jumped in resolution and prices for some TI devices have plummeted.
This has the upside of putting some powerful instruments into the hands of maintainers, the downside is that you can make major mistakes based on a little knowledge.

I know this from experience as I was that self taught Engineer who used an old Fluke Ti20 on assets, fortunately I mainly used it for comparative work and not in electrical cabinets where the big mistakes can cause a lot of heartache.

Training is a key part of becoming a Thermographer as I found out a couple of years ago when I took my Level 1 Thermography course, it added another level of understanding that I now share during my "Introduction to PdM" training workshops.
If attendees then want to take a recognised course I can point them in the right direction with my contacts in the PdM industry.

You can find out more about Thermography below in the webinar, there are also many other thermography references in Uptime Consultant articles on other pages on this site.
