Many predictive maintenance (PdM) programs use thermography to detect when a gearbox is running hotter than similar gearboxes performing similar work in similar environments. The lifeblood of any gearbox is the oil within it that lubricates the gears. If the oil level in a gearbox gets too low or loses its ability to lubricate, the gearbox will eventually fail, preceded by overheating. That´s where thermal imaging comes in. This application note tells you what to check, what to look for, what represents a "Red Alert", what is the potential cost of failure, and follow up actions you can take to prevent failure from occurring.Advice From Level III Thermographers On Inspecting Tanks And Vessels With Thermal Imagers
As former President Reagan said "Trust, but Verify." Typical thermal images seem to exhibit "x-ray vision" - they show the contents of the container and give quantifiable verification of the material inside. When users apply their knowledge of materials and physics to the thermal differences they see with an imager, they can deduce the level of fluid in the tanks.
Thermal imagers are rapidly becoming more economical and easy to use, but the camera is only as good as the person using it. Take time to examine your processes, understand you materials, and think about how the properties you wish to understand relate to the thermal characteristics. Thermal imagers produce useful maps of equipment and processes, as long as one takes time to understand the language.Using Thermal Imagers To Inspect Roller, Chain And Belt Conveyors
Thermal imaging is especially useful for monitoring low-speed mechanical equipment like conveyors. Overheating signals the impending failure of many different electrical and mechanical conveyor components, from motors, gearboxes, and drives to bearings, shafts, and belts.Thermal imager applications: Inspecting tanks and vessels
Above ground tanks and vessels for liquids and gases abound in chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and other process manufacturing. These vessels may be specially lined to store a variety of fluids from potable water to acids designed for mixing, blending, leaching, heating, cooling and oilwater separation processes. By capturing two-dimensional temperature profiles of vessels, thermal imagers can detect temperature differences on the surface that often reveals conditions inside.Energy Studies with the Fluke 1735 Power Logger
Manage energy consumption by tracing usage. The first step in managing energy is understanding ‘how much and when’ energy is being used. To discover that, you need a power logger. The logger captures voltage, current, power, power factor and energy, displays the measurements, and in logging mode stores them over time. Then, using software, you can graph the measurements and highlight times when extreme or unexpected energy consumption is happening. For example, if energy is being consumed at night or at weekends, perhaps the HVAC system needs to be re-programmed? Once you have this kind of power and energy profile, you can highlight potential areas for energy savings.HVAC Applications Where True RMS Test Tools Matter

Dev Lab Applications For 884X Precision Multimeter.
Building on the performance of today´s digital multimeters
To improve performance while using existing technology, engineers must design analog and digital circuits that are "cutting edge" in terms of speed, sensitivity and range. The DMM they use needs to have the appropriate levels of measurement sensitivity and range to do the job. The Fluke 8845/8846A meters meet this need in multiple ways by:
- Increasing the range of each major measurement function beyond what is standard in today´s popular meters.
- Volts dc ranges from 100 mV to 1000 V with a max resolution of 100 nV.
- Current dc ranges from 100 uA to 10 A with a max resolution of 100 pA. Compared to other popular multimeters, the 8845A/8846A increase the range on both ends of the spectrum - from pico amps to amps.
- Resistance ranges from 10 ohm to 1 Gigohm, with a max resolution of 10 uohm. Now engineers can perform a critical low ohms measurement as well as a high impedance measurement with one tool.Cutting Costs With Energy Auditing
