Abstract

The value of thermal imaging for use in predictive maintenance has been demonstrated and well-documented for decades. Practitioners in the trade, however, still generally fall into two categories – heroes or goats. Originally presented by ITC instructor Ron Lucier at the 2002 InfraMation conference, this free white paper highlights ten common activities that, if not properly addressed, would lead a thermographer down the path to failure. Read about what those ten activities are and see how this perspective still applies today.

These complimentary educational webinars are designed to provide a valuable overview of thermal imaging and its many applications. Participants learn not only the basics of infrared thermography, but also where IR can reduce costs, save energy and increase safety for professionals across a variety of industries. Attending these sessions also demonstrates why pursuing a professional certification in thermography is a necessary step to becoming a successful thermographer.

If you’re in the electrical, maintenance, or home inspection business, infrared thermography can help you spot a number of issues that your eyes simply can’t see.  Join us for one, or perhaps all, of these webcasts today to learn more!

Registration is now available at www.infraredtraining.com/webinars where you’ll also find a number of on-demand recordings from past live events that can be viewed at any time.
