IS 17180 : 2020 Guidelines for Using Infrared Thermography for Condition of Rotating Components

New Standard from Last Update.

1 SCOPE

This guideline covers application of infrared thermal imaging method to detect non-uniform temperature and also to detect adverse distribution of heat during service, by mapping isotherms. Compressors, motors, fans, pumps, vacuum sets, conveyors etc, generally referred to as mechanical equipment. They have rotating components such as motor, shaft, pump, bearings, casings, couplings, v- belts, pulley, chain drives and gearboxes which are designed to transfer mechanical energy with minimal losses through friction. This guideline is applicable for condition monitoring of these components to detect hot spots. This guideline may involve use of equipment and materials in the presence of heated, moving or electrically energized equipment or all of these.
