Infrared Thermography Inspection Services
Capture hidden flaws and defects through infrared imagery
What is infrared thermography?
Imagine being able to see the hidden heat patterns inside machinery, electrical systems, or even building structures without making a single incision. Infrared thermography does just that. This advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) method uses infrared cameras to capture temperature variations on the surface of materials. These temperature differences often indicate signs of underlying problems, such as overheating components, poor insulation, cracks, or corrosion that might be invisible to the naked eye.
Thermography is ideal for industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, and energy, where heat buildup in the wrong location can have serious consequences if not caught immediately.
How Apex’s infrared thermography inspection services work
- Thermal imaging: Using infrared cameras, Apex technicians scan the component or system, capturing the heat emitted by the surface. Variations in temperature are displayed as thermal images or thermograms.
- Image analysis: Our certified thermography inspectors analyze the thermograms, looking for unusual temperature patterns that may signal internal issues, such as overheating or hidden structural defects.
- Reporting: Any anomalies or issues discovered during the inspection are documented with clear, actionable findings. This report serves as a permanent record and can be used for ongoing monitoring and future inspections.
The benefits of Apex’s thermography inspection services
Our infrared thermography inspection services offer a wide range of benefits, making them a valuable tool for various industries that need to maintain high standards of safety, efficiency, and performance.
Noninvasive inspections
Unlike traditional testing methods, thermography doesn’t require physical contact with the component. Inspections can be performed without altering or damaging the material being tested.
Access to hard-to-reach areas
Thermography excels in inspecting components that are difficult to access or those located in hazardous environments, such as electrical panels or high-voltage systems, without putting personnel at risk.
Real-time results
Thermographic inspections provide immediate feedback, enabling quick decision-making and allowing for rapid response to potential issues before they escalate.
Operational efficiency
Thermography inspections can be conducted while machinery and systems are in operation, minimizing downtime and preventing interruptions in workflow.
Versatile applications
This method can be applied to a wide variety of materials, including electrical, mechanical, and structural components.
