Infrared Thermography as a Diagnostic Tool in Power Engineering >>
Thermal imaging,
also called thermography, is the production of non-contact
infrared pictures from which temperature measurements can
be made. This technique is used to detect anomalies often
invisible to the naked eye, even while electrical systems
are under load. When a connection becomes loose there is a
resistance to current that can cause an increase in temperature
and subsequent failure of components, potentially resulting
in unplanned outages and possible injury. In addition, the
efficiency of an electrical grid becomes low prior to failure,
thus energy is spent generating heat, causing unnecessary
IntroductionSo how do you go about setting up all of the maintenance requirements for several thousand discretely maintainable assets?
Tight bend radius without compromising attenuation characteristicsEnergy and data supply expert igus has developed a new optical fibre cable, called Chainflex CFLG.2LB, which is suitable for all bus systems. This dual-core optical fibre bus cable is designed specifically for energy chain applications, where extremely small bending radii and high cycle life are expected without loss of data.
Did you know that approximately 50% of vibration-based damage to rotating equipment involves misalignment issues? When machinery is well-aligned, MTBF increases and power consumption drops. Not a bad way to cut operating costs! 
Sonatest are proud to launch the new Corrosion Wheelprobe, which has been specifically designed for Pipeline Corrosion Mapping applications. Continuing the proven success of Sonatest’s WheelProbe range, this new model is proving to be unrivalled in the field of corrosion mapping in terms of speed and ease of use, in addition to achieving excellent results.Ergonomically designed, the Corrosion Wheel Probe offers smooth handling, good control and comfortable grip positions for scanning around pipes and for easy overhead work. Circumferential and Longitudinal scanning are both completed rapidly and can be performed on pipes with diameters between 3 and 32 inches.
