How often should you inspect?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions about thermal imaging programs.     Unfortunately,there is no one right answer. Many Insurance Companies suggest (or require) inspecting once a year. While is is adequate for most applications, your particular system or situation may benefit from a more frequent schedule:

  • How Critical is it?
  • What is the environment? 
  • What is the loading?
  • Is the system new or has it been modified?
  • Are Major shutdown or outages scheduled?
  • General "Rules of thumb"
  1. Inspect critical components and known problem areas at least every six months:
  2. Inspect general use areas every 12 months
  3. Inspect all new or modified systems before acceptance
  4. Inspect all areas prior to scheduled shutdowns or outages

REMEMBER

It is much cheaper to tighten a nut or screw than replace a burnt out component or extinguish a fire:
