Inspecting Motors, Pumps, and Valves: Preventing Downtime With Thermal Imaging

In the oil and gas chain supply, a motor breakdown, pump failure, or bad valve can quickly become a critical issue. Vibration analysis is the most common technique used to detect faults in rotating equipment, which can be time consuming. Thermal imaging technologies make it easier to identify possible mechanical issues by enabling inspectors to quickly scan for hot spots.
