What is thermography/thermal imaging and why is my insurance asking me to get them taken?

Thermography, also known as infrared thermography or thermal imaging, is a process that involves using a special camera to detect areas that are unusually hot or cold on an object or surface under normal operating conditions. It is a valuable technique for inspecting metallic materials and identifying corrosion without causing any damage.

Thermography has several practical applications. For example, it can be used to detect corrosion or erosion damage in industrial plants that operate at high temperatures. It is also useful for checking if pipes are clogged or blocked internally and for assessing the quality of refractory linings in various structures. Moreover, thermography can help in identifying leaks, changes in composition, and separations in layered materials.

In simpler terms, thermography uses a special camera to find areas that are hotter or colder than they should be on an object. This is helpful for detecting corrosion and other issues in high-temperature plants, checking for blockages in pipes, and assessing the condition of protective linings. It can also spot leaks, changes in materials, and separations in layered objects.
