Thermography
Infrared Thermography Inspection Services for Accurate Fault Detection
Infrared (IR) Thermography is a powerful non-destructive testing technique that utilizes advanced thermal imaging cameras to produce and analyze specialized thermal images of an object and/or surfaces. It converts invisible infrared radiation into visual heat maps. By providing thermal data for analysis, thermography can identify hidden problems that the human eye can’t see, before they manifest into costly failures.
At CME, we use advanced technology of thermal imaging equipment to recognize anomalies in electrical, mechanical, and structural systems. The proactive approach of IR thermography allows industries to mitigate downtime, enhance safety, and improve efficiencies.
CME has strict safety procedures for thermal inspections and these procedures include:
- NFPA 70E Compliance – ensures appropriate PPE is worn relative to arc-flash risk evaluations.
- Non-Invasive Techniques – reduces exposure by minimally opening panel covers. .
- Certified Thermographers – expert professionals who conduct inspections safely, efficiently, and reliably.
Why is Thermography Important?
Thermal imaging prevents failures by uncovering potential issues early. We detect you get:
Early Fault Detection
Detect loose connections, circuits that are overloaded, overheating components.
Detect issues in live systems without the need to shut down your operations.
Reduced Downtime
Greater Safety
Find heat loss and insulation problems, preventing potential energy waste.
Energy Efficiency
What is Thermography?
Infrared thermography captures thermal energy emitted by objects and transforms it into thermal images (thermograms). These images convey temperature variations which can indicate a hidden issue, such as loose electrical connections, mechanical wear and tear, or lack of insulation.
The process includes:
- Capturing the thermal data with infrared cameras.
- Identifying heat patterns that hold thermal abnormalities.
- Developing results with certified thermal consultants to offer actionable recommendations.
- Detailed reports including thermal images with clear recommendations.
