BS EN 16714-3 establishes terms and definitions for thermographic testing.
BS EN 16714-3 on Non-destructive testing — Thermographic testing is useful for:
Thermographic testing, also known as infrared inspection, is a contact-free predictive maintenance method for detecting connection defects, system overloads, deteriorated insulation, and other potential problems in electrical components. Infrared thermography is used to detect hot spots so that problems can be addressed before they cause excessive power consumption, increased maintenance costs, service interruptions, catastrophic equipment failure, and/or equipment damage.
BS EN 16714-3 helps you ensure uniformity in terms and definition used in reference to thermographic testing and allows you to remove ambiguities and inconsistencies in ideas related to it.
