Thermography Standards
ASTM E1934-99A(2005)
Standard Guide for Examining Electrical and Mechanical Equipment with Infrared Thermography. Useful for IR thermography service providers and in-house thermography programs as a guideline for planning and conducting studies. As a guideline, this standard does not account for all best practices but may still benefit some professionals.
ISO 18434-1:2008
Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines, Thermography, Part 1: General procedures. This standard provides and introduction and general procedures for applying infrared thermography testing. A broad range of machinery types (e.g. electro-mechanical, heat exchangers) are considered. A useful tool for professionals to ensure basic standards are used, but it does not directly address the issue that some coniditon monitoring objectives are better fulfilled using alternative PdM technologies.
