Services: Thermography

The benefits of thermography are obvious:

    Identify problems before they happen
    The ability to quantify the degree of failure
    Allow planned system maintenance to be prioritized and budgeted for
    Non-disruptive as there is no need to shut down services
    Avoid unnecessary, potentially dangerous and disruptive downtime or circuit interruption

Krauth will peform the thermographic survey while all equipment or services are ‘under
load’ or being used without the need to shut down services and with minimal disruption. The images are
stored and downloaded for analysis.

Comparing the temperature of components against ambient temperature gives an indication of fault
severity. Thermography is a non-contact and non-destructive type of testing, and is an invaluable
resource for predictive maintenance. Virtually no other method will detect the heat rise associated with
such faults. This allows remedial work to be prioritized, and a response by the maintenance team can be
scheduled. As there is no surface contact, surveys can and should be carried out under normal working
conditions, with minimal or no interruption or disruption of plant operations.

After analysis we provide you with a report on equipment condition and recommendations for action as needed.
