Non-contact inspection of live power equipment and apparatus
Infrared Scanning: a preventative maintenance tool for detecting heat—and potential problems—in operational equipment. Detect problems without powering down!
Infrared scanning is a popular tool used to detect potential problems in many industries including oil and gas, mining, commercial buildings and manufacturing facilities. It is an effective non-contact technique for examining power equipment and apparatuses while they are fully operational. Infrared testing causes no disruption to plant operations, eliminating costly shutdown time.
