Hello all,

At the tail end of a large new build I'm about to try to persuade the owner to part with some cash - for a thermographic survey of the machinery as part of a condition monitoring maintenance system. I've a solid grounding on the theory but never having had the resources to go the whole hog was wondering if we have any collective experience on the matter. My father has used this extensively in the field of milatary avionics/weapons systems but has any one here used it on board and to what effect. I feel it has massive potential to lower total cost of ownership but is it worth the trouble in reality? Your thoughts are, as always gratefully appreciated.
