Thermography survey

Post by piiengineers »

We are planning to buy a thermal imaging camera for the following activities,
1)Corrosion under insulatilon survey
2)Safety relief valve passing/fugitive emission check
3)Furnace tube condition monitoring

I would like to know which make and model is best one for the above service.I understand some cameras are not sensitive in furnace tube real time codition monitoring due to flue gas interference and will show the wrong reading.User feedback is highly appreciated.

with advance thanks,

You should go for any P series IR camera by M/s Flir (preferably P-660).
A trust worthy name in thermography, satisfactory customer feedback and long term reliable performance.

You can get much of literature on thermography.
It's better to have some demonstration from some good supplier at your site. Many suppliers can do demos free of cost.
