Abstract

failureThe 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.
