Thermography Services

Time and time again, case studies have proven that infrared thermography is the most effective predictive maintenance (PM) technology available to quickly, accurately, and without interruption of operations, locate problems in various types of systems prior to failure.

Infrared thermography is a valuable and cost effective form of non-destructive testing to detect abnormal thermal patterns in electrical, mechanical, roofing, and structural systems. But what are the advantages of paying for an infrared program?

Brady Infrared's Inspection Process

Brady Infrared's cameras are high performance thermal imaging cameras manufactured by FLIR in both long- and short-wavelength versions to handle any inspection needs. They have on-board temperature sensing with digital and video saving options and are capable of detecting temperatures up to 1500 degree Celsius with sensitivity of 0.08 Celsius degrees. We also have various lenses to match the inspection task.

Brady Infrared's thermographers have a broad understanding of the operations and problems associated with various electric/mechanical equipment and roofing/building systems. Inspections are performed efficiently and thoroughly. We use in-field PDA's and tablet computers to assemble a comprehensive equipment inventory, operational status of equipment and thermal anomalies. Upon completion of an inspection, you will receive a report generated from InspecTrend software that includes the following items:

Brady Infrared uses an infrared database program, InspecTrend - the premier inspection management program of the infrared industry (Download PDF File) Written summary of the inspection Database inventory list and inspection status of equipment at your facility Bar-coding of equipment and Asset ID assignment - optional Color thermograms of problems detected Baseline documentation - optional Color laser printed and bound hardcopy document that complies with published guidelines PDF format copy on CD's and website hosted copies available

Electrical In electrical system, components get hot before they fail. An infrared inspection can help identify "hot spots" in electrical equipment. Poor connections, overloaded circuits, load imbalances, and faulty, mismatched or improperly installed components can create resistance which leads to increased heating and eventual failure. Download Brochure Mechanical Systems In mechanical systems, overheating can be caused by internal problem in motors, misaligned equipment, improper lubrication of rotating components, and improper tension on drive belts. Infrared surveys can locate these mechanical deficiencies and help keep your equipment operating smoothly. Roof Systems Trapped moisture spells death for a roof and the underlying deck system. Brady Infrared can help you run an affective roof maintenance program by identify areas of trapped moisture with 100% coverage of your roof surface. These surveys are invaluable for: Q&A on newly installed roofs Baseline of roof conditions prior to hurricane season Regular roof maintenance / repairs Assessment of existing roof conditions prior to installing a recovery roof system. Brady Infrared has the cameras and experience to perform moisture inspections on a variety of insulated flat roof systems (built-up gravel and smooth, modified bitumen, sprayed polyurethane foam, single-ply, and EPDM). Download Brochure Building Envelopes In hot and cold climates, positive or negative air infiltration can lead to high energy costs and unwanted moisture inside. Water infiltration can also be a detriment to plaster, drywall and other wall coverings and can also provide conditions favorable for mold development. Brady Infrared has helped many clients identify areas of latent moisture and active leak sites within various building constructions. We also work hand-in-hand with mold investigation companies to provide condition assessment and solutions to water infiltration problems. Download Brochure
