ver the past thirty years, a number of organizations have published temperature severity guidelines for infrared inspections of electrical and mechanical components. When using these guidelines, a thermographer may compare the temperature of similar components under similar load to each other OR compare the temperature of a component to ambient air temperature. The former of these approaches is recommended since ambient temperature can swing widely over time. Furthermore, it is often impossible to obtain an accurate ambient temperature for devices located within an enclosure once the enclosure has been opened for an infrared inspection.
For a limited time, Infraspection Institute is offering two free online training courses. These courses are available through
SuccessIRies™ – a series of web-based short courses for thermographers and inspection professionals. SuccessIRies™ courses are available 24/7 via an internet connection and cover a wide variety of topics.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes in length, SuccessIRies™ are narrated short courses that are the perfect way to keep abreast of the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of thermography. SuccessIRies™ also meet continuing education requirements for professional inspectors.

RSS feeds have become a means for automatically receiving information from web publishers on a wide variety of topics. RSS feeds can provide thermographers with up-to-the minute news and information on thermography and related PdM and NDT topics.
Thermographers who have a website can benefit from an RSS feed by having industry news and information automatically delivered to their website. This is accomplished via software programs called “News Readers” or “RSS Aggregators.” By running your aggregator in automatic mode, it will periodically check the internet to see whether selected feeds have been updated. If the aggregator finds an update, it will download the updated information to your website. Visitors to your website can then click on headlines of interest to read the full story.
