The purpose of this paper is to present a multi-sensor approach to the detection and inspection of steel bars in reinforced concrete structures. In connection with our past experience related to non-destructive testing of different materials, we propose using two potentially effective methods: active infrared thermography with microwave excitation and the eddy current technique. In this article...

Steam traps play a significant role in condensate evacuation from steam as well heating ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC), i.e., industrial climate chambers. Preventive maintenance periodical audit of increase reliability reduce the number facility off hours. In some elements system, can damage parts, which means that monitoring their function is one basic preventive tasks. One way checkin...

In the paper we present an algorithm to assess the condition of HV/MV substation equipment with the use of infrared thermography. First some thermographic analysis concerns are outlined, then the dedicated software design is presented with its features overview. Finally an approach to assess the equipment condition based on infrared measurements trending is introduced with a case study of a HV ...
