HERE ARE FIVE TIPS FOR WHEN TO USE INFRARED VS. WHEN TO USE THERMAL INDICATOR DATA WHITE PAPER Infrared data and thermal couple data are two different information streams. As such, each stream has different ideal use cases in fired heater inspections. Read More>> IMPROVING THE USE OF INFRARED FOR FIRED HEATER INSPECTIONS: FIVE FACTORS THAT IMPACT YOUR ABILITY TO COMPARE INFRARED AND THERMAL DATA WHITE PAPER It is common practice for inspectors to use thermal indicators to validate infrared data and vice versa. But it’s important to note that these comparisons have limitations. As with the rest of the heater, tube surface is a major factor in determining where an infrared reading may be taken. If there is not a clean tube surface at a thermal indicator, then no direct comparison can be made with infrared data. Despite the fact that these comparisons can be made at times, and within limitations, infrared data should never be manipulated to conform to thermal indicator data. Once the inspection is complete, and a trend is noted that suggests the data may be skewed high or low by multiple thermal indicator locations, then and only then should a correction be applied. Read More>> THE UNIQUE VALUE OF INFRARED FOR FIRED HEATER INSPECTIONS: ROADBLOCKS TO INFRARED ADOPTION AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM WHITE PAPER Infrared technology has the potential to radically transform fired heater inspections. But infrared adoption has been held back in industries that could benefit from its use, such as the Petrochemical industry, by a lack of awareness of its benefits and by a lack of training in how to analyze infrared data. The first problem—awareness—will be addressed over time, as articles like this one circulate and people become more familiar with the depth of data infrared can provide. The second problem—a lack of training in analyzing and understanding infrared data—is the focus of this paper.
