Volume 1  Issue 9    October 2012

 Director’s Message

With green awareness at an all-time high, facility managers are constantly on the lookout for new ways to save money and energy while reducing their company’s carbon footprint.

One of the best opportunities for detecting excess energy loss is steam trap testing.  Although defective steam traps can waste thousands of dollars annually, their maintenance is often overlooked.  Presently, estimates for steam trap failures within industrial facilitites is 50%.  Considering that medium sized facilties can have hundreds of traps, the potential for energy savings is considerable.

Combining thermal imaging with contact ultrasonic testing provides a quick and efficient means for locating defective steam traps.  Through timely, effective repairs, companies can realize considerable energy savings and reduced emissions.

Infrared inspection of steam traps is one of the many topics covered in the Level I Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer® training course.  Level I classes are held regularly throughout the year or may be accessed via our convenient web-based Distance Learning program.
