TES Thermal Imaging Consultancy

TES is an independent company which has offered high quality Thermal Imaging Consultancy Services for over 30 years. We aim to provide our customers with impartial, factual reports, on the thermal condition of their fixed and portable capital assets.

Our service provides a non-contact, non-destructive survey which is quick, convenient and accurate. It can identify defects not easily detected by more conventional methods. The information we provide can alert our customers to take early action to remedy any thermal anomalies identified during the survey. This can limit any work involved to remedial or preventative action, thus possibly avoiding major repair or replacement costs.

The Service

All objects above absolute zero emit infrared radiation in proportion to their temperature. Infrared Thermography is the technique whereby this radiation is detected, measured and displayed as a visual image.

The temperature measurement range of -20°C to +1500°C means there are very few applications we are not able to investigate.

Our survey service exploits the comparison of thermal image signatures of the “fault area” with the “normal” surrounding or adjacent area. TES can work equally with small structures as well as across large structural areas, both static and dynamic.

Surveys are often carried out prior to remedial repair or major replacement investment, or in response to customer routine or legislative quality assurance checks.

In our experience regular planned inspection can give maintenance cost savings, prevent unnecessary shut-downs and give closer control of both operational and production processes.

The thermograms or heat pictures produced by our Thermal Imaging System provide decision makers with clear, concise information and evidence for further action and prioritisation.

In order to maintain our impartiality TES does not recommend, nor are we formally associated with, any manufacturer or maintenance company.
