 ABSTRACT:
This exciting seminar is designed for anyone interested in making the mostof a predictive maintenance program. The peculiarities of infrared photography lie in theability of the film to record what the eye cannot see (permitting, for instance, photography in the dark); in the fact that many materials reflect and transmit infraredradiation in a different manner than visible radiation (light); in the ability of infraredradiation to penetrate certain kinds of haze in the air so that photographs can be taken of distant objects that cannot be seen or photographed on normal films; and in the ability to photograph hot objects by the long-wavelength radiation that they emit. This can beuseful in a various applications such as monitoring the condition of electrical machineryand checking the efficiency of the building insulation.A typical system will display an image in different colours, each colour bandhas its specific meaning, which indicates different temperatures. In this article I wouldlike to present an overview of infrared imaging and thermography.There is no other technology that can compare to the versatility of infrared Thermography with itsimmediate playback. Whether you are in management or in a technical position, thisseminar will help you understand the immense role Infrared Thermography can playimportant role in your Maintenance program. Reduce downtime, increasing profits, predict failure before they occur. A properly designed and implemented infrared programcan increase employee safety as well as equipment reliability.
 
INTRODUCTION:-WHAT IS INFRARED? 
Sir William Herschel, an astronomer, discovered infrared in 1800. He builthis own telescopes and was therefore very familiar with lenses and mirrors. Knowing thatsunlight was made up of all the colors of the spectrum, and that it was also a source of heat, Herschel wanted to find out which color(s) were responsible for heating objects. Hedevised an experiment using a prism, paperboard, and thermometers with blackened bulbs where he measured the temperatures of the different colors. Herschel observed anincrease in temperature as he moved the thermometer from violet to red in the rainbowcreated by sunlight passing through the prism. He found that the hottest temperature wasactually beyond red light. The radiation causing this heating was not visible. Herscheltermed this invisible radiation "calorific rays".Today, we know it as infrared. He measured radiation effects from fires,candles, and stoves, and deduced the similarity of light and heat. Today, devices can bedesigned to detect, amplify, and display radiation from the visible or infrared portions of the spectrum.
What is Infrared Radiation? 
The light we see with our eyes is really a very small portion of what is called the"Electromagnetic Spectrum."
Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation whosewavelengths are greater than those of visible light but shorter than that of microwaves. T
he Electromagnetic Spectrum includes all types of radiation - from the X-rays used at hospitals, to radio waves used for communication, and even the microwavesyou cook food with.Radiation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum is often categorized by wavelength.Short wavelength radiation is of the highest energy and can be very dangerous - Gamma,
