ISO 18434-2 is the second part of the ISO 18434 series that discusses condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems. ISO 18434-2 provides specific guidance on the interpretation of infrared thermograms as part of a programme for condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems.
ISO 18434-2 on Image interpretation and diagnostics is beneficial for:
Thermography can be used to identify and document anomalies for the purposes of condition monitoring of machines. These anomalies are usually caused by such mechanisms as operation, improper lubrication, misalignment, worn components or mechanical loading anomalies.
ISO 18434-2 :
Overall, ISO 18434-2 helps you to identify and document anomalies for the purposes of condition monitoring of machines.
