Infrared Thermography is a tool that has become more and more widely used for preventative maintenance on mechanical and electrical systems over time.
It takes advantage of the infrared radiation properties to extract useful conclusions for the condition of the equipment under test. It is neither non-destructive, nor an interrupting procedure and has no solid substitute.
