ISO 18434-2:2019 PDF Download

A standard called ISO 18434-2:2019 offers instructions on how to interpret infrared thermograms for machine system condition monitoring and diagnostics. It provides detailed instructions on how to utilize infrared thermography (IRT) to find anomalies in machine systems and gauge the severity of such anomalies. The standard also covers how to use IRT to evaluate the performance of machinery.

The document has a number of uses. In the beginning, it aids users in developing severity assessment standards for abnormalities found by IRT. This aids in identifying the importance and urgency of the problems that have been found. Second, it describes the procedures and specifications for performing thermography on machine systems, together with safety advice to guarantee the process is carried out correctly and safely. Last but not least, it offers details on picture interpretation, evaluation standards, and reporting specifications, enabling uniform and efficient analysis and reporting of thermographic data.
