Thermography

Thermography 's concept is quite simple. All objects emit heat or infrared electromagnetic energy, but only a very small portion of this energy is visible to our eyes. In order to see the heat being emitted, an infrared thermographic camera must be used. The camera detects the invisible thermal energy and converts it to a visible image, which then allows WYKO's thermographer to interpret the image.

Obviously in order for an image to be obtained access must be gained to the surveying area, such as the opening of electrical control cabinets. If problems occur obtaining such access then WYKO has the solution with the Global Maintenance Technologies IRISS IR Thermal Imaging Windows, which can be fitted to most applications and left in-situ for future thermographic surveys.

The primary purpose for WYKO's Infrared Thermographic Inspection Programme is to reduce the number of costly, unscheduled shutdowns that could occur, and to prevent damage by detecting equipment failure in its early stages. However, infrared thermography can also enhance productivity and save money by locating areas of poor performance.
