How NFPA 70B Relates to IR Windows and Thermography

How NFPA 70B Relates to IR Windows and Thermography

A 40-minute recorded webinar by Martin Robinson, CEO of IRISS Inc.

NFPA 70B is the recommended practice for electrical equipment maintenance. This webinar discusses the requirements of the standard and how using infrared inspection windows assists with the compliance issues of NFPA 70, increases safety, reduces risk and significantly reduces the time taken to complete infrared inspections of critical electrical equipment.

Participate to learn:

1) NFPA Implications on Thermography

2) Recommended Temperature and inspection periods

3) Infrared Window Uses and Applications

Thermography: Maintenance Basics

Thermography: Maintenance Basics

A one hour recorded webinar playback on demand by Wesley Kasey, Sr. Tech Advisor of Iriss, Inc

This presentation is not for professional Thermographers. It's aim is to educate maintenance personnel as to what thermography can be doing to improve the overall condition and safety of your plant. At Iriss, we hear from countless companies who have an infrared camera but never put a program in place. The camera may have never even been powered on. Don't let this valuable tool go unused.

I believe that if you own a camera you should have at least a level I trained technician as well. However, this is the real world and you may need to prove the value of the equipment before any training dollars are spent. The technology is very simple to begin using. I hope this presentation will empower some technicians to begin using this useful tool. Thermography may take years to master... but it can be learned in a day.

Particpate to learn:

1) All areas of a plant can benefit from IR analysis

2) Protect your Job-help your plant! How can you use IR to give a better ROI to your management?

3) You need not be an electrician, mechanic, or thermographer to use thermography...which one of these is not like the other?!!

Choosing The Right Camera  For Your Particular Needs

by R. Wayne Ruddock

In today’s world of infrared thermography, there are an increasing number of manufacturers offering a wide range of infrared camera packages.  In the past ten years the price has been reduced dramatically and the spatial resolution has increased.  There is far more acceptance of the technology today than in the past and an increase in the applications to which infrared thermography is applied.  The internet is also used to advertise, and in some cases, even sell infrared cameras.
