Among the many NDT techniques used by the contractor CAN Offshore for the maintenance and operation of oil rigs, thermography is the most important.

Using the FLIR GF343 with Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) capability, you can detect CO2 leaks and anomalies thermographically.

The distribution company has been a pioneer in the use of thermography for electrical predictive maintenance.

Electrical distribution substations are composed of a large amount of electrical switchgear. One of them is the insulators, which are present at many points of the substation.

Thanks to thermal cameras, they have made it possible to detect anomalies early. "Usually it's loose connections, misadjusted switches, or regulators and switches that are working too much

Since 2001, they have been performing this type of maintenance, and during peak periods, they carry out thermographic inspections at night for about 6 hours a day using cameras.

Regular thermography inspections can easily detect and locate overheated areas on the surface of a transformer or hot spots.

Thermographic inspections in the electrical network require, given the dimensions and voltage of the installation, a high-performance thermographic camera. Whether it is

The elements of an electrical substation require maintenance. It is therefore convenient to perform thermal imaging using a FLIR thermal camera. For this type of conditions
