Cool exceptions are usually caused by failed compo-nents.4.3.2 In mechanical equipment, warm exceptions are usu-ally created by friction caused by improper lubrication, mis-alignment, worn components or mechanical loading anomalies.Cool ex

Personnel Responsibilities5.1 The infrared thermographer shall:5.1.1 Have sufficient knowledge of the components, con-struction and theory of electrical or mechanical equipment, orboth, to understand the observed patterns of radiation,5.1.2 Be knowledgeable

18、of, and comply with, the safetypractices and rules of the end user, and5.1.3 Use an infrared imaging system with imaging orradiometric capabilities, or both, sufficient to meet the exami-nation requirements.5.2 Unless he/she is a licensed electrician, professionalengineer or has other equivalent qua

19、lifications, the infraredthermographer:5.2.1 Shall not perform any tasks that are normally done bythese personnel. Unless so qualified and authorized by the enduser, the infrared thermographer,5.2.2 Shall not remove or replace covers or open or closecabinets containing electrical or mechanical equip

20、ment,5.2.3 Shall not measure electric loads of equipment, and5.2.4 Shall not touch any equipment and shall maintain asafe distance from it.5.3 The qualified assistant shall fulfill the responsibilitieslisted in 3.1.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 through 6.4.3, 6.7.1, and 6.8.5.4 The end user shall assume full res

21、ponsibility for conse-quences resulting from actions taken, or not taken, as a resultof data provided by an infrared examination.6. Procedure6.1 The end user shall provide, to accompany the infraredthermographer, a qualified assistant who is knowledgeable ofthe operation and history of the equipment

22、 to be examined.6.2 With the assistance of the qualified assistant, the infra-red thermographer shall develop an inventory list of theequipment to be examined in a logical, efficient and safe routethrough the facility.6.3 The infrared thermographer shall perform a calibrationtest(s), before each qua
