Thermal Imaging for Maintenance
Heat reveals loose connections, failing bearings and blocked flow before anything breaks, provided the image is taken and read correctly. This course covers thermographic inspection.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01What heat reveals before failure
- 02Camera operation, focus, range and image quality
- 03Emissivity, reflected temperature and measurement error
- 04Load, wind and conditions that invalidate a survey
- 05Electrical patterns: connections, imbalance and overload
- 06Mechanical patterns: bearings, couplings and flow
- 07Severity classification, reporting and follow up
What you will gain
- Explain how thermal imaging detects developing faults

- Apply emissivity and reflected temperature correctly
- Interpret thermal patterns in electrical and mechanical plant
- Classify severity and recommend action

Planned Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to keep plant running. This course covers the design and running of a preventive maintenance programme: what to maintain, how often, and how to prove the programme is working.
Reliability Centred Maintenance
Reliability centred maintenance asks what each asset must do and what happens when it cannot, then selects maintenance accordingly. This course teaches the analysis method and how to apply it without drowning in paperwork.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Equipment that fails repeatedly is usually being repaired rather than fixed. This course builds the investigative discipline to trace a failure to its physical, human and system roots and to implement corrections that hold.
