The Truth about Infrared

By Wayne Ruddock

There are many misunderstandings about infrared, both in the general public and amongst the practitioners of infrared in the industrial world. Hollywood portrays infrared falsely as a technology that can see through walls and windows and investigate the interior of buildings. It incorrectly depicts it as a technology that will allow you to see if there are any occupants in a building and where they are located, due to their "thermal signatures." This has been seen in a number of Hollywood movies and now has trickled down to television programs such as "CSI."

Using IR for Condition-based Monitoring: Back to the Basics

By Dave Brown, Director, Infrared Training Center, FLIR Systems

Consider the following scenario: A large refinery identifies a problem involving a vacuum leak in a steam-driven crude oil feed pump turbine. After many other test methods fail to pinpoint the problem, infrared thermography finds the issue in minutes: a few loose bolts that need to be tightened. Fixing this problem saves the company millions of dollars annually.

Infrared Safari:  A Photo Essay on the Hunt for Reliability Problems with Thermography

By Michael Stuart

In the animal world, there is a natural law that is seen day in and day out all around the planet Earth. The strong survive the elements and endure hardships and move on to live another day and often prosper. The weak and the sick, however, succumb to the will of the environment or to those who are stronger, faster, or smarter. Such is the way that it has always been... and such is probably the way that it will always be!

Believe it or not, reliability maintenance can be the same way in many respects. We run into the "big elephants" that either stand in the way of progress or threaten to take down the operation in a wild and dramatic rampage. We also find ourselves battling the smaller, yet equally damaging issues ("hyenas") that creep up quietly and quickly and pick off the smaller things for which we have responsibility. Either way, if we do not have the proper tools to deal with these threats, we must live in continuing fear of potential loss... financial, time, productivity, energy, and sometimes even personnel.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an "infrared picture" should surely be worth ten thousand! The images and captions that follow represent an "infrared photo safari" of our world and the beasts that we see every day.
