Elek

Elek is a Norwegian company who provide the international offshore industry with thermography. The company are located on the north west coast of Norway, near Aalesund and was established in January 2002.

Elek is planning and executing inspection on electrical and mechanical equipment using infrared camera.

Elek is licensed on thermography from Det Norske Veritas (DNV).

Thermography

Infrared thermography is simply a picture of heat. All objects around us radiate a particular intensity of heat, and most of this heat the human eye cannot see. With an infrared camera all heat radiating, can be imaged, measured and stored for further analyses. A thermal image can give us valuable information about an object`s condition.

Elek - your security partner

The use of Infrared Thermography as a predictive maintenance tool has increased over the past years. Numerous applications including: Inspection of electrical panels and switch-gear, mechanical system, scale-verification and process systems are now well documented.

The recent development of high resolution infrared images and sophisticated software has transformed infrared thermography into a predictive maintenance technology capable of trending actionable information.
