Selecting, Specifying and
Purchasing Thermal Imagers

 

Description

With the price of infrared cameras more affordable than ever, many companies are implementing in-house infrared programs. Unfortunately, many infrared programs are put in the hands of thermographers who have little or no experience in developing and maintaining such a program, especially if it is a large company. Large companies, like a utility company, often have many thermographers in various departments performing many different types of IR inspections. This presentation focuses on the most important considerations in setting up and managing an infrared program to meet the present and future needs of a company.
