Annual thermographic inspection following NFPA 70B
Thermographic inspection, also known as infrared inspection or thermal imaging, is a non-destructive testing technique used to detect thermal anomalies in various materials and structures.
During a thermographic inspection, a thermal camera is used to capture infrared images of an object or system. The camera detects the amount of heat radiation emitted from the object, which is then converted into a visual image that shows the temperature variations in different areas of the object.
Thermographic inspections can be used in a variety of applications, such as detecting heat loss in buildings, identifying electrical faults in machinery or systems, locating water leaks in plumbing systems, and detecting defects in materials such as composites or metals.
The advantages of thermographic inspection include its non-invasive nature, its ability to detect thermal anomalies that may not be visible to the naked eye, and its ability to provide rapid results without the need for extensive disassembly or testing. However, it is important to note that thermographic inspection is not a standalone diagnostic tool and must be used in conjunction with other testing techniques to identify the root cause of the thermal anomaly.
