What is infrared scanning? Infrared scanning, or thermography as it is also called, is a technique using thermal imaging radiometers.
 Radiometers display an image of heat patterns radiating from surfaces and are designed to produce temperature information.

Applications of Infrared Scanning done by Goodall Infrared Services, Inc.

 

BUILDING ENVELOPES
  • Locate missing or damaged insulation
  • Identify air leakage energy losses
  • Evaluate the thermal performance of retrofits
  • Locate radiant heating wires or pipes
     

 

            

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
  • Detect problems quickly, without interrupting service
  • Assess priorities for corrective action
  • Minimize preventive maintenance and troubleshooting time
  • Virtually eliminate unscheduled power outages
  • Comply with insurance company requirements
  • Check for defective equipment while still under manufacturer warranty
  • Sample report

 

 

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

  • Thermal mapping of semiconductor devices
  • Circuit board component evaluation
  • Production-type inspection of bonded structures
  • Inspection of hybrid microcircuits
  • Inspection of solder joints

 

 

PULP AND PAPER
  • Detect uneven heat distribution in fourdrinier stem boxes
  • Identify wet streaks, non-uniformity, that can have adverse effects on paper quality
  • Identify basis weight variations
  • Monitor size press performance
  • Analyze dryer temperatures to look for non-uniformity in dryers
  • Monitor coating to see that it is being applied uniformly to surface of the paper
  • Analyze reel to look for cross-machine and machine directional patterns that may be induced by different pieces of process equipment connected to the paper machine
  • Inspect chip piles for hot spots and profile thermal characteristics


Paper Machine Reel

 

ROOFING
  • Identify water damaged portions of a roof quickly and accurately
  • Eliminate unnecessary replacement of good roofing
  • Plan accurate budgets based on facts
  • Document problems before the warranty/bond expires

STEAM TURBINE-DRIVEN GENERATORS & HYDROELECTRIC GENERATORS
  • Locate interlaminar faults in stator cores
  • Monitor the effectiveness of repairs to the damaged areas
  • Help maintain quality control during a stator core repair
  • Obtain a "thermal fingerprint" of the stator core that can serve as a permanent condition record of the stator core following repairs
