Services | Infrared Research

Infrared Research, Inc., is a technical corporation located in Rossville, Georgia, with two full time ASNT Level II qualified Thermographers to provide the industrial community with state of the art infrared thermographic services.

Infrared Research typically surveys a facilities power sources and equipment with portable, self powered infrared equipment sensitive to temperature variance of .25º Fahrenheit. This thermal image or "Thermogram" is recorded on a data card, making a very detailed study and evaluation possible at your convenience.

For preventative maintenance records the data is stored on CD compact disk and is available through our web site.

You may use this disk to:

1. Reproduce any additionally needed report pages using your printer.
2. Search for specific items that are reoccurring problems.
3. Transmit report pages electronically via e-mail.
4. Long term storage of report data (shelf life 99+ years)

Thermographic surveys may be utilized to:

	A non-intrusive evaluation of the condition of electrical power distribution systems, while under load, to indicate loose connections, overheating transformers, disconnects, insulation breakdown and circuit breaker heating. As you know, resistance in electrical systems produces heat.
	Inspect steam and hot water piping for insulation breakdown, and proper operation of steam traps and condensate piping. Blocked lines and not fully seated valves are also detectable.
	Indicate roof system leaks, and pinpoint the origin of the leak.
	Inspect refractory furnaces and smoke stacks while in operation for heat loss due to insulation and structural deterioration, also locate heat losses in large ovens and furnaces for improved safety and economy.
	Indicate the heat loss pattern for buildings and other structures to reduce operating cost.

We have found that the usefulness of thermographic service is only limited by the imagination of the technician and technical personnel involved. Therefore, with the advanced knowledge of thermography, derived from this service, you can eliminate outages and consequently increase profits.
