Thermography condition monitoring techniques are used to monitor the temperature and the temperature pattern of operating equipment. This data, along with data on the physical structure of the component and the thermodynamic condition of the equipment, is used to assess the degree of degradation of a process plant item. Three practical applications of thermography to
How to Detect Leaks and Fix Them Compressed air leaks may quickly become a substantial source of lost energy in an industrial plant, losing up to 30% of the output of a compressor. But how can you identify leaks if you can’t see them? Most experts believe that using an ultrasonic sound detector is the
What is infrared thermography for leak detection? Infrared thermography for leak detection is the technique of utilising an infrared camera to check for unusually hot or cold spots on a component that is performing normally. It is the most basic of all thermal inspection techniques and a promising non-destructive evaluation approach for the characterisation of
To determine whether predictive maintenance is a technique that might benefit your business, you must first understand what it is, how it works, what its benefits and drawbacks are, and how to develop a predictive maintenance programme. You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re seeking a resource that can answer all of those questions
What makes airborne ultrasound so effective? All operating equipment and most of the leakage problems produce a broad range of sound. The ultrasonic components with high-frequency sounds are extremely short waves in nature. A shortwave signal tends to be pretty directional. (condition monitoring) As a result, isolating these signals from background plant and operational equipment
Introduction Compressed air systems are prone to air leaks. The key is to understand how to detect and repair them, as even a small leak may quickly mount up to a significant bill if left unchecked. Leaks of compressed air are common in all applications. They’re not only common, but they’re also time-consuming to locate
