IRT is the science of detecting emitted infrared energy from an object, converting it to an apparent temperature, and displaying the result as an image that is captured by a thermal camera. The Infrared energy is electromagnetic radiation consisting of longer wavelengths than that within the visible light spectrum. Utilizing specialized cameras, this energy is converted to interpretable data which can then be utilized to display heat patterns, object temperatures and equipment anomalies. The information obtained through well executed thermographic inspections can prove invaluable in determining asset performance and condition and is a vital component to a well-rounded mechanical integrity program.
CMI Services offers professional Level III thermography services combining highly trained and experienced technicians with the latest in infrared technology. These services can be employed in many applications including insulation/refractory surveying, mechanical evaluation, electrical/utility scans along with search & rescue type missions. Furthermore, CMI Services has invested significant resources into the training, equipment and necessary experience required to perform detailed and accurate industrial furnace assessments. When our clients require a regular preventative maintenance (PM) program, they need to look no further than CMI Services as we can manage the scheduling, execution and reporting as a seamless “turn-key” solution.
CMI Services is also able to adapt our thermography expertise to include public safety body scans. The Infrared thermal scan is a non-invasive technique that safely detects, records and analyzes an image of the skin surface temperature patterns (body heat). This information can be referenced to “normal” human physiology characteristics allowing for the detection of abnormalities and possible public safety risks.
