With infrared thermal imaging and thermography, we are able to detect problems before they become major issues in an industrial building. We can detect heat and moisture using infrared thermal imaging. For regular inspections, these check-ups have to be conducted for safety and energy savings.


Industrial Thermography Certification


It takes experience, education and training to be enable effective and informative industrial thermography inspections. Infrared industry leader FLIR, provides levels of training to fulfill the requirement across the globe. The three levels of certifications include field application (Training Level 1), teaching (Training Level 2), and research (Training Level 3). Some companies have their own certification requirements to perform these inspections. Others rely on the infrared industry to provide the necessary certification and training. Either way, the training comes from the same field of information, then applying it to a specific industry.

Electrical Inspections


Maintenance for panels, switches, relays, transformers, cables, power grids, and much more can be inspected and examined using infrared thermal imaging. A change in temperature that can’t be seen by the human eye will be detected using a professional infrared thermal camera allowing operators to pinpoint conditions.

  • Loose Connections
  • Poor Contacts
  • Overloading
  • Capacitor Breakdowns
  • Unbalanced Loads
  • Overheating
  • Etc.

Mechanical Inspections


Maintenance for internal combustion engines, pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, bearings, and more can be inspected using industrial thermography. Temperature changes in mechanical equipment can cause problems and in using infrared thermal imaging, we’re able to detect these changes.

  • Air Leaks
  • Clogged Condenser Tubes
  • Overheated Bearings
  • Increased Discharge Temperatures
  • Excessive Oil Temperatures
  • Broken/Defective Valves/Steam traps
