Performing Acoustic Imaging to Enhance Infrared Inspections



Abstract:
The presentation will explore the use of acoustic imaging as a diagnostic tool used with infrared imagers to strengthen predictive maintenance programs. Examples from recently completed field inspections using acoustic imaging and infrared imagers will be presented to contrast the technologies for an understanding on how they can be used together.

Keeping Your Distance: Determining Shock and Arc Flash Boundaries When Performing Thermography on Energized Electrical Equipment



Abstract:
Shock and arc flash are the electrical hazards addressed by the NFPA 70E electrical safety standard and relevant OSHA regulations. Among the safety considerations when performing thermography on electrical equipment are approach boundaries applicable to these hazards for the safety of both qualified and unqualified personnel. A thermographer must know how to identify these boundaries and when they apply, the qualifications necessary to cross them, the requirements for performing thermography in the presence of these hazards and the applicable PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that may be required in the presence of both existing and potential shock and arc flash hazards.

Industrial Automation and Process Control Utilizing IIoT and Smart IR®



Abstract:
This presentation will focus on the use of Infrared/Thermal Imaging for Continuous Critical Asset Monitoring and manufacturing process improvement. We will explore the differences in continuous monitoring vs route-based inspection. Discuss the benefits, and limitations, of continuous monitoring for a variety of use cases. Finally, we will discuss ICI's proprietary SmartIR® platform, its value within an IIOT ecosystem, and how its infrared data points can drive process improvements throughout multiple applications and process flows.

Using Infrared Thermal Imaging to Monitor Underground Piping in District Heating and Cooling Systems



Abstract:
Supply steam and condensate return lines, hot water lines, chilled water lines, supply water mains, storm water drains, and sewer lines can be monitored for leaks and/or faulty insulation by cleverly using thermal infrared (IR) thermal imaging. Surveys of distribution piping systems provide actionable data of faults for asset management, predictive maintenance and planning purposes, with the benefit being improved reliability and reduced in energy usage. Methodologies, techniques and equipment needed to be successful will be discussed during this interesting presentation.

Thermal Imaging to Determine the Location of Radiant Heating Lines in Concrete Substrates



Abstract:
Radiant heating lines imbedded into or below a substrate must be precisely located prior to drilling into the floor. Ambient air temperature, substrate thickness and temperature, system response time, conductive heat spread and floor composition are all contributing factors in determining the ease or difficulty in locating the lines. These factors will also determine the thermographer’s ability to achieve a high degree of accuracy. This presentation documents a real world application of the issues encountered during the location and mark out of radiant heating lines in a thick concrete floor prior to drilling mounting holes for securing mechanical equipment.

Enhancing Electrical Safety with Ultrasound



Abstract:
The use of ultrasound technology in conducting electrical equipment inspections has quickly become the standard for many organizations. Advances in the technology offer a whole new level of sophistication when it comes to scaling up internal reliability and electrical safety efforts. This presentation will explore the use of Ultrasound in managing industrial electrical safety, along with offering some commentary on why investing in this area is critical. This presentation will also discuss what ultrasound technology is and how it is used to inspect electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, and substations. We’ll share case study examples using spectrum analysis of recorded ultrasounds and images and will discuss to how to properly diagnose exactly what is happening.
