Abstract

This paper provides an introduction to EPRI's Infrared Inspection Technical Evaluation (IRITE) Project currently under development. The paper will describe objectives, planned efforts, status and preliminary results. The IRITE project is a computer based system that is intended to facilitate a rapid and consistent interpretation of typical infrared inspections. The system will prompt the user in the diagnosis via systematic evaluation of available information. Based on the results of laboratory and field testing, the evaluation system will identify the most likely root cause of the problem and provide information that will assist in preparing a cost benefit analysis on the appropriate corrective action. The increased attention on infrared thermography in the nuclear and fossil utilities has created a greater demand for information on the use of this technology. The main goal of the IRITE project is to provide a product that will identify both simple and complex component deficiencies. This information will provide a complete package that can be used by infrared thermographers with all levels of experience.
