The Report - or is “the cart in front
of the horse?”
• We eep focusing on the report that the
thermographer pro!ides "ecause it has all
of the nice looing thermograms with all of
the "ells and whistles#
$ spots% lines% histograms etc&
• 'ut we loose site of what the
thermographers does while he performs
his inspection(

What Thermographers do while
conducting inspections
• There are specific acti!es (not including
working with a IR camera) that
thermographers perform while they are
conduction there inspections&
• 'y understanding what there specific
acti!es are% and there re)uirements we
can "etter aid the thermographer in doinghis *o"&

Primary acti!es $ not including
scanning with the IR camera&
• +ocating , finding what e)uipment is to "e
inspected&
• diting , updating the e)uipment list&
• Indicating what e)uipment was tested during the
inspection
• Reconciling pro"lems from pre!ious inspections&
• .ocumentation $ /ew pro"lems that ha!e "een found
$ Re-documentation of pre!ious pro"lems

There are “7uestions” that must "e
answered during an inspection&
• What e)uipment is to be tested ?• Where can I find the e)uipment?• What is the most efficient route to tae during the
inspections to find the e)uipment?
• Was the e)uipment tested last time?• What e)uipment was not tested during this inspection?• What e)uipment still needs to be tested during this
inspection?• Is there a new problem on it?
• 8as there "een a problem documented in the past?• What was the past pro"lem?• 8as the past pro"lem "een fixed or gotten worse?• How much worse?

The real trick is… how are you
going to come up with the
answers?
