What is infrared scanning? Infrared scanning, or thermography as it is also called, is a technique using thermal imaging radiometers. Radiometers display an image of heat patterns radiating from surfaces and are designed to produce temperature information.

Applications of Infrared Scanning done by Goodall Infrared Services

Printable Brochure

BOILERS -Heater Furnace
  • Survey electrical equipment for hot spots
  • Inspect burners for flame impingement and burner management
  • Look at combustion patterns of fuel
  • Detect thermal patterns on boiler tubes and measure tube skin temperature during normal operation or when boiler is on standby
  • Scan and record temperatures in areas of boiler not monitored
  • Scan the exterior of boiler for refectory damage or locate warmer areas where potential refectory damage may occur
  • Detect coke buildup in crude furnaces
  • Sample Report

 

BUILDING ENVELOPES
  • Locate missing or damaged insulation
  • Identify air leakage energy losses
  • Evaluate the thermal performance of retrofits
  • Provide hard-copy proof of problems
    Locate radient heating wires or pipes

 

            

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
  • Detect problems quickly, without interrupting service
  • Asses priorities for corrective action
  • Minimize preventative maintenance and troubleshooting time
  • Virtually eliminate unscheduled power outages
  • Comply with insurance company requirements
  • Check for defective equipment while still under manufacturer warranty
  • Sample report

PULP AND PAPER
  • Detect uneven heat distribution in fourdrinier stem boxes
  • Identify wet streaks, non-uniformity, that can have adverse effects on paper quality
  • Identify basis weight variations
  • Monitor size press performance
  • Analyze dryer temperatures to look for non-uniformity in dryers
  • Monitor coating to see that it is being applied uniformly to surface of the paper
  • Analyze reel to look for cross-machine and machine directional patterns that may be induced by different pieces of process equipment connected to the paper machine
  • Inspect chip piles for hot spots and profile thermal characteristics

STEAM TURBINE-DRIVEN GENERATORS & HYDROELECTRIC GENERATORS
  • Locate interlaminar faults in stator cores
  • Monitor the effectiveness of repairs to the damaged areas
  • Help maintain quality control during a stator core repair
  • Obtain a "thermal fingerprint" of the stator core that can serve as a permanent record of the condition of the stator core following repairs

 

Detect RF heating in antennas,  waveguides,
guywires and frame structures

 

 
  • Other applications
  • Locate low-intensity sleeper fires on forest lands
  • Locate lost peoples
  • Remote sensing applications
