Infrared Thermography: Inspections
BUILDING ENVELOPES:
Locate energy losses caused by conduction and convection problems:
- Evaluate the thermal performance of retrofits
- - Reduce heating and cooling energy costs
- - Provide hardcopy proof problems
- - Locate missing, damaged or improperly installed insulation
- - Identify costly air leakage energy losses
MEASURE ACCURATE INFRARED TEMPERATURES:
Avoid or correct measurement errors caused by:
- - Reflection
- - Calibration
- - Emissivity
- - Spot Size
- - Transmittance
- - Weather
REFERENCE TEMPERATURES TO STANDARDS:
By comparing temperatures with the database of IEEE, NEMA, ANSI and ASTM standards, you can:
- - Determine maintenance repair priorities
- - Trend deterioration of components
- - Assure that repairs have been made properly
- - Determine if equipment is operating properly
- - Monitor and increase quality of product
- - Prove that equipment and processes meet regulatory requirements and guidelines
