Here at PASSfm, we only use state-of-the-art thermal image cameras to display images and read radiation where the human eye cannot see. our thermal imaging cameras can easily see where heat is being lost from a building or specifically where heat is building up, for instance within an electrical circuit or machinery due to faulty components.
If you’re located in the North East of England and want to protect your property contact PASSfm and enquire about our Thermal imaging surveys. Thermal imaging surveys are effectively used in a predictive application.
Our electrical surveys, operating in the North East of England, use Thermal Cameras to identify poor connections, overloaded circuits, failing components or imbalanced loads. Faults on electrical systems can be expensive in terms of plant downtime, damage, loss of production or risk from fire.
Keep your business up and running with PASSfm Electrical thermal imaging surveys. Thermal imaging services can help businesses, manufacturers and repair teams implement effective maintenance practices to avoid costly downtime and remain competitive within their industry.
PASSfm engineers conduct thermal imaging surveys, across the North East of England, giving you invaluable information, data and results that enhance preventative maintenance effectiveness and problem-solving/diagnostics
Thermal Imaging cameras can detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 900-14,000 nanometres or 0.9-14 mm) and produce images of that radiation on a visual display for troubleshooting.
110A Circuit Breaker
240V 110A breaker feeds LAN rooms.
Load Reading A=65 B=95 N=84
B phase exceeds 80% ampacity and temperature exceeds breaker rating.
Hot Fuse Connection
The surveys can also include the factory, machine, plant or premises itself from the roofing to the structural condition. Identifying a problem before it starts is crucial to effective mechanical and factory operations.
Pulley System - Hot drive belts:
PASSfm thermographic surveys can easily point out problems in structures, buildings and building appliances easily and effectively. This can range from detecting leaking pipes, damp spots, poor window and roof insulation, damage from weather like roof damage.
A Leaking Bedroom Ceiling
If you notice in the last photo, it is difficult to see the ceiling has a leak. However using the thermal imaging camera, you can see the problem, the origin of the leak and save time and money, reducing the need to tear out walls.
If you’re interested in having the electrical components of your business thermally photographed by experts please contact us, and our team will be happy to ensure the safety of your North Eastern property.
Prices vary from around £100 to £600, but the average cost of an infrared thermal imaging inspection is around £300. This price can vary depending on various factors if it's an add-on service with a traditional home inspection it may cost less than a separate callout, the size and condition of your home, and the focus of the report may also impact the cost.
Thermal Cameras are great at detecting leaks in a property as they can locate where the infrared seems cooler due to the moisture of a leak, something that may not always be visible to the naked eye.
FLIR's make pictures from heat, not visible light. Heat (also called infrared, or thermal, energy) and light are both parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, but a camera that can detect visible light won't see thermal energy and vice versa.
