Thermography Analysis
Infrared analysis reduces surprise electrical and mechanical failures. GTI Predictive Technology's thermographic analysis catches abnormal temperatures that may indicate machines running outside of specifications, corrosion, damaged wiring, loose connections, and/or insulation breakdown. This information alerts customers well in advance of problems, which reduces repair costs and optimizes operating time.
As mechanical and electrical components deteriorate, their thermography readings steadily develops, increasing heat levels until its destruction. Buildings benefit from periodic thermography surveys that identify leaks in roofs and energy inefficiencies. Regularly monitoring buildings and equipment enable customers to see faults before they become problems.
Thermography has a huge range of capture. Everything above absolute zero degree temperatures (-273° C) displays energy in the spectrum. Thermography is an infrared imaging technique that uses a camera/screen to capture/display variations in infrared radiation. Problems found using this technology include inadequate bearing lubrication or bearing wear, inadequate coupling lubrication or wear, leaking valves or seals, and motor stator heat source emissions, indicative of possible stator problems, etc. Thermography inspections are also useful in evaluating circuit wiring, transformers, electrical pot heads, insulators, and heat loss in buildings, valves, seals, etc.

Our Services
GTI Predictive Technology's thermography inspection program reduces repair costs while extending mechanical and electrical equipment’s operational life. Our iPad system separates the temperature changes produced by loose connections, damaged/corroded wiring, hot bearings, etc. GTI's detailed reports provide images to document problem areas in addition to suggestions for corrective actions. GTI offers thermography products and services and can even incorporate the results of thermography analysis into a Condition Monitoring program. Thermography enhances your analysis capabilities, and enables a more effective monitoring program.
As with our other services we also offer training and equipment so your staff can maintain and develop a predictive maintenance program.
