Chubb utilises Flir thermal imaging cameras

Chubb Insurance has selected two Flir P-Series infrared thermal imaging cameras to aid in infrared inspection - an integral part of the insurer's loss control evaluation service.

The cameras were chosen to complement the company's existing Flir models, which, despite being more than 10 years old, are said to be still working well.

The Flir cameras allow infrared services to be provided across all industry sectors, from municipal, medical and leisure establishments through to commercial enterprises, factories, warehouses and utility sites.

Predominantly, the role of the cameras is in the condition monitoring of capital equipment and associated electrical systems but they are also increasingly being used to check the integrity of insulation to contain overheads.

This technology has a vital role to play in the business and commercial sector, according to Flir.

It is estimated that up to 30 per cent of all industry fires can be attributed to an electrical fault.

The Flir thermal imaging cameras allow Chubb to spot the vital signs of a developing fault without the need to interrupt the production or business process.
