White Paper: Periodic Infrared Inspection Best Practices: Route-based Surveys

Infrared thermographic inspection is an established PdM inspection modality. Recent advances in infrared camera platforms have created a new class of infrared imaging instrument which incorporates pen-based computing and application specific software into a powerful thermal inspection data logger with many traits similar to mature vibration data collection systems. The potential impact of this integration on productivity, thermography program ROI, training and integration of thermal inspection data with CMMS systems is described and presented.
