INFRARED INSPECTIONS

Infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that let’s you instantly visualize and verify thermal/infrared performance. Nearly everything that uses or transmits power gets hot before it fails. Cost effective power management is critical to maintaining the reliability of your electrical & mechanical systems.

Service Overview

Today, nobody would argue that infrared thermography is one of the most effective proven predictive maintenance technology available to quickly, accurately and safely locate problems prior to failure. Finding and fixing a poor electrical connection before a component fails can save you the much greater costs associated with manufacturing downtime, production losses, power outages, fires and catastrophic failures. Inspections are carried out under load.

Low Voltage Installations

Electrical systems suffer from load imbalances, loose connections, corrosion and increases to impedance to current. Thermal/Infrared inspections will help to quickly identify hot spots and determine the severity of the problem.

LV inspections will detect:

- Overloaded/overheated circuits
- Corroded connections
- Poor connections
- Internal Circuit Breaker faults
- Fuse damage

Some examples where our inspections are carried out:

- Distribution Boards – load imbalances and faulty circuit breakers (inspected for electrical contractors, insurance companies and property owners
- Powerline – overheated joints, insulator condition (inspected for municipalities and suppliers)
- Substations – switchgear, transformers, connections etc (inspected for municipalities and suppliers)

Industrial Inspections

Thermal/Infrared Imaging has become an indispensable tool in ‘Preventative Maintenance’ inspections.

By detecting anomalies usually invisible to the naked eye, thermal/infrared imaging allows corrective action to be taken before costly system failures occur. Correct Inspect uses thermal/infrared imaging cameras as a unique tool to determine when and where maintenance is needed, for mechanical installations tend to get hot before they fail. By discovering these hot-spots with a thermal/infrared imaging camera, preventive action can be taken. This can avoid costly production breakdowns or ultimately, fire.

Our Inspectors use these thermal/infrared images combined with temperature data to accurately assess the condition of the inspected equipment. All this information is compiled into report form and used to make informed decisions regarding maintenance and continuity of production.Inspections are carried out whilst the system is under load, without costly shutdowns.

Examples of inspected items:

- Motors, Pumps and Compressors (overheating bearings, misalignment, windings)
- Conveyor Systems (bearings)
- Process Valves (leakage, open/closed)
- Insulation (complete, sufficient)
- Storage tanks (levels)
- Lubrication Issues
