Application Spotlight: Fired Furnace Inspections

MEASURE FURNACE TUBE METAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH A GAS FLAME WITH THERMAL IMAGING  

Tubes on a firebox can overheat and rupture, starting an uncontrolled fire and other collateral damage. Refractory damage and improper burner alignment can also cause overheating and break down, resulting in downtime and a personnel safety issue—especially near inspection ports and ladders. That's why it's crucial to routinely inspct and assess the condition of the external steel firebox, tubes, and supports using a furnace inspection camera with thermal imaging capabilities. This kind of cameras allows inspectors to look through gas flames and determine whether localized internal coking is occurring, or if it’s external scaling.
