Thermographic verification
Thermographic verification is a type of nondestructive inspection used to perform inspections and investigations of both building/infrastructure systems and facilities. This type of service is based on the use of advanced diagnostic technology, which makes it possible to visualize thermal variations in real time, analyze them, and evaluate the performance of the system being examined.
The thermographic verification service offered by ASACERT is carried out through the use of an infrared camera that detects the temperature by measuring the intensity of infrared radiation emitted by the “system” being inspected; once the results obtained have been analyzed, it is then possible to detect the presence of any “functional anomaly” in the inspected system without operating any kind of invasive investigation or destructive test.
THE OBJECTS OF THERMOGRAPHIC VERIFICATION
ASACERT exploits the potential of the thermographic verification service by offering its clients a useful tool for diagnosing numerous building pathologies, including locating and mapping leaks. Thermography can be used for the analysis of:
- Civil and industrial installations
- Electrical installations
- Heating systems
- Radiant heating systems
- Water distribution systems
- Water systems and fire pipelines
- Waterworks connection detour
- Aqueduct pipelines and networks
- District heating networks and pipelines
The thermal imaging camera is capable of detecting temperature changes in the analyzed objects, displaying absolute values and variations; therefore, the thermographic verification process allows for the detection of possible points of breakage and spillage, reducing the need for extensive destructive interventions through the precise detection of the anomaly.
THE SERVICE.
ASACERT’s thermographic verification service includes numerous complementary activities-from document analysis to planning the intervention, from storing thermographic images in digital format to preparing the final Verification Report with graphical restitution of any anomalies found.
Carrying out an inspection through the use of thermography provides many advantages, including the drastic reduction of intervention time and costs: in fact, the non-invasiveness of the thermographic survey allows to operate on any type of pipeline in a non-destructive way and without interrupting the plant delivery service.
