Thermal
Imaging Inspection is a "Proactive Service" where faulty plant and
equipment can be rectified under routine maintenance schedules without
interruption to production processes. The Alternative is a "Reactive
Service" where plant and equipment may fail without notice therefore
being responsible for unnecessary production downtime.
Our Thermal
Imaging Camera can be used for Electrical , Mechanical or any other
process where temperature deviations can effect a process or outcome.
Electrical
Measurements & Testing utilise an Indigo Systems TVS-620 thermal
imaging camera and associated software to provide Thermal Imaging
Inspection services to Tasmania Industry.

EM&T
staff complete on site Thermographic Image Inspections to meet the
clients needs.
On site
cooperation with plant maintenance staff is recommended to ensure all
inspection points are addressed as well as gaining first hand knowledge
of critical areas.
This sample image shows where a blockage in equipment at a
paper mill has caused dangerous thinning of PVC tubes. This was not
detectable by any other means and almost certainly saved costly failure
and associated downtime.
The graph shows the temperature profile across the line between the
arrows with sharp variations of only 1 degree C.
Monthly thermal inspection of this equipment is estimated to be now
saving this client $100,000 annually in downtime reduction. |
Our thermal
image inspection service includes a full color report which includes
visible and infra-red images of the problem component. The report also
provides details of actual v differential temperatures , electrical
loads , component identification and repair recommendations.
Repair
Priorities are identified as follows :-
Accompanying
the report is a list of all sites/areas inspected.
The link
below is to a sample of our standard report which can be customised to
suit the clients requirements and provided on CD if desired.
EMT
operators have completed the University of Melbourne/RMIT (Centre for
Manufacturing) course "Theory and Practice of
Infrared Thermography for Condition Monitoring" and are accredited
members of the Australian Institute for Non-Destructive Testing.
