"We solve your problems before they appear"

Welcome to the Infratherm page, here you will find our services.  Which are focus on finding problems before they appear, using   Infrared  and Vibration Analysis Technology.

 

 Where can a Thermography be used?

Infrared Thermography can be applied in any situation where a problem or condition can display itself by means of a thermal difference. For may situations, this is quite easy to apply;  a thermal condition can be seen because the process involves release of thermal energy.  

These are the areas that use our services:

Electrical Distribution Systems
