Une des questions la plus fréquemment posée au Snell Group concerne la rédaction des rapports : quelles sont les données qu’il faut-il signaler et comment les formater ? Dans le manuel du cours de niveau 1, nous fournissons plusieurs extraits de normes pour la thermographie, y...

El tema de calibración y exactitud de las mediciones de las cámaras infrarrojas podría muchas veces desatar diferentes opiniones. Aun los usuarios de la termografía más capacitados podrían conocer las limitaciones de las mediciones de temperatura radiométrica, y también podrían haber aprendido técnicas para mejorar la...

The image above is from a tight radius on a large conductor with a mechanical crimp. All reliability maintenance equipment is multi-faceted and can be used to identify most developing anomalies. Each technology has its own unique capabilities but can overlap with other technologies. Electric motor...

One of the things we are most often asked about is reporting content and how to format it. We supply summaries of several IR-related standards in the Level I course manual, including ASTM E-1934; Standard Guide of Examining Electrical and Mechanical Equipment with IR. One of...

When I was growing up, Dad was good about teaching me all the things a young man would benefit from knowing. The usual stuff: baiting a hook to fish, how to change a car tire, that kind of thing. Every once in a while, he would...

Insulation testing is by far the most important testing that you may perform on electric motor and motor circuits. There are several different tests and variations of those tests. One of the best instruments available for fully evaluating insulation is High Potential testing. High Potential testing...

A -“T” Leads, B-Local Disconnect, C-Motor Connection Box (above) Electric motor test instruments are designed specifically for motor testing. However, when in the hands of a properly trained and savvy technician or engineer, they can be utilized for considerably more testing and diagnostics. In this testing...

Often during the building inspection process, one will discover issues the building owner does not necessarily want to be found. These issues include, but are not limited to, air leakage, moisture, and conductive heat gains or losses. The issues found are going to cost money to...

Solar loading is not just a warm-weather concern for building thermographers. We must deal with its impact year-round, regardless of the season. Additionally, when it comes to the sky conditions, solar loading is not only a problem on sunny days. Even when it is cloudy, solar...
