Inspection of Mechanical and Electrical Systems
We’d like to invite you to a FREE thermal training workshop by the Snell Group hosted at CAF (Construction Advancement Foundation).
Thermal Imaging of critical Mechanical and Electrical Equipment has been utilized in successful industries to track temperature trends and predict impending failures before production equipment fails in service. Application of thermal imaging can identify process upsets prior to producing defective products.
Two online seminars will be presented that address applications of Thermal Imaging for Mechanical and Electrical Equipment. Safety and thermal imaging equipment capabilities, conditions required, limitations, analysis and operator training will be addressed.
After each session, any questions will be addressed by a Level III Snell Certified Engineer familiar with NW Indiana Industrial Facilities and Key Reliability Managers from Arcelor-Mittal and NIPSCO.
Thermal Imaging Equipment used for the above applications will also be available for information sharing.
