Establishing Infrared Inspection Frequencies

You have an infrared camera. You’re ready to implement an infrared program. You know what assets you want to inspect. How do you establish an effective inspection frequency for your program? This short presentation will take you through the many, many aspects that must be considered when establishing inspection frequencies. Annual inspections do not support reliability. One set frequency for all assets is not the answer either. Take a few minutes to see what industry best practices suggest…
