Technomax utilises thermal imaging to detect a variety of fault conditions before they become a catastrophic concern to people and property. The infrared thermography (IRT) inspections we offer are beneficial for various fields including, but not limited to:

• Electrical Systems: IRT assists in finding faulty electrical or overloaded circuits in various electrical systems.
• Mechanical Systems: Bearing failures, improper belt tension, misalignment of coupled equipment, abnormal warm motors, etc., in mechanical equipment can be detected by thermal imaging.
• Fluid Systems: Faults like line blockages, tank levels and pipe or fluid temperatures can be identified at the earliest stage.
• Construction: Building diagnostics leverages thermal imaging to identify insulation defects, moisture problems, plumbing flaws, air leakage, etc.
• Low-Slope Roofs: IR thermography aids in monitoring roof conditions and detecting wet roof insulation.

There are numerous applications for Infrared thermography testing:

1. Test and Measurement

The use of infrared cameras, infrared thermometers, pyrometers, etc. has been extensively used by research scholars to measure the temperature of individual particles in coal combustion reactors, to initiate an endeavor to understand the transient phenomenon behind combusting particles.

2. Injection Molding

To measure the temperature of the surface of the distribution products, the thermal imager is used through an online system.

3. Manufacturing

In the metal manufacturing industry, it is crucial to monitor the temperature of the molten metals to ensure that the process temperature is adequately maintained at the casting level.

4. Condition Monitoring

To maintain the overall health of the equipment and avoid any sudden damage or disruption in the production process, a thermal imaging camera is the most coveted technology for condition monitoring services. It can be used to detect catastrophic failure of the equipment or manufacturing process. It is also a cost  effective method.

Thermography testing is the process of testing components using an infrared camera to look for abnormally hot or cold areas operating under normal conditions. It is a viable non-destructive evaluation technique for the characterization of corrosion in metallic materials and is the simplest of all thermal inspection techniques.

In addition, it can be used to check for fouling or internal plugging of piping systems and to check the quality of refractory linings. It can also be used for leak detection, composition changes, and disbonds in laminates.  Using thermography, the temperature of objects can be made visible.

Infrared Thermography Testing Procedure

Any object with a temperature above −273.15 degrees Celsius (absolute zero or 0 kelvin) emits thermal infrared energy, which is undetectable by the human eye. Technomax’s thermal imaging technique uses advanced thermal image scanners to detect and display these infrared wavelengths regardless of visible illumination. An abnormal temperature pattern typically precedes equipment failures, corroded electrical connections, damaged components, etc. Our trained and experienced thermographers can easily monitor the thermal performance and localise the flaws and faulty conditions in equipment and industrial processes under normal operating conditions by analysing the thermograms. 

Through interpreting the thermal asymmetries, Technomax can detect defects ahead, identify the root causes, and correct the problems, saving the plant from possible system failure or performance issues. Being the leading provider of IR thermography services, we solely use the best thermal imaging equipment available in the industry, ensuring trustworthy and precise real-time results without interruption in an ongoing process.

Routine IR thermography inspections by Technomax’s expert personnel provide a myriad of advantages and the benefits of infrared thermography includes:

• The process is non-invasive, non-destructive, and cost-effective
• It can be used in condition monitoring
• Identifies problems in the equipment or device before they occur
• Prevents loss of production due to unexpected breakdowns
• Reduces unscheduled downtime
• Significant savings in money and time
• Keeps repair and maintenance costs down
• Extends the useful life of the machine assets
• Reduced spare parts inventory base
• Enhances product quality & consistency
