Decisions on the possibility of operating buildings, structures or equipment are made based on the results of control surveys performed. They can be carried out in various ways, including without disassembly or dismantling. Thermal imaging inspection of equipment is considered effective and practical. performed using an infrared thermal imager. The result of the test is a thermogram of the examined area:
- With temperature parameters at various points.
- Indicating the uniformity of heat distribution over the surface.
So-called “thin” places that have hidden defects, for example: corrosion, internal cavities or cavities, wear or abrasion, which can cause an emergency. They will be clearly visible in the resulting image.
Main advantages of the method
- Complete non-invasiveness - the use of modern cameras allows us to completely eliminate physical contact or impact on the area being examined.
- Simplicity of the operation - a surface image is taken almost instantly. The camera has a mobile format and can be used in any place, including hard-to-reach places.
- Urgency of analysis - examination results with explanations from a specialist can be obtained on the day of the inspection.
- Multifunctionality - examination for Thermal energy leakage can be carried out for various buildings, sealed containers and equipment.
When it is recommended to conduct an inspection
Regular or scheduled thermal imaging inspection allows problems to be identified and corrected in a timely manner, related to thermal insulation of equipment, buildings, or pipelines. This will allow the service company to save on the costs of eliminating emergency situations.
Such an inspection is recommended to be carried out before the start of the heating season and after its end. Before putting the facility into operation or when planning reconstruction and major repairs.
