HK Calibration Technologies: Specialists in Thermal Imaging

A tried and proven way to help ensure a business stays on track, thermal imaging should be a key part of your preventative maintenance plan.

Thermal imaging allows you to locate electrical or mechanical faults before they become major problems, saving you both time and money.

There’s also no guess work with this type of process. Thermal images are very precise and provide a very clear indication if any of your components, such as electrical switches or mechanical parts, are running too hot.

Thermal imaging can also identify cold air loss in refrigeration systems.

Low cost yet effective, thermal imaging is one of the services that HK Calibration Technologies Pty Ltd (HKCT) provides from our seven offices and laboratories Australia-wide.

In the hands of our skilled technicians, thermal imaging can expose any faults in your equipment that aren’t evident to the naked eye.

When you make use of our thermal imaging service we don’t disrupt your operations. It’s a very non-intrusive process and it’s ideally done when your operations are in full mode.

The important thing with this process is to ensure you have experienced and qualified people doing the scanning work and that’s what we provide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thermal cameras drift over time due to sensor aging, leading to inaccurate temperature readings that could miss critical electrical hotspots. Professional calibration ensures your camera remains accurate for detecting fire risks and maintaining ISO 17025 compliance in Australian industrial settings.

We recommend professional calibration every 12 months to ensure the infrared sensors provide reliable data for safety inspections. For high-voltage electrical audits or continuous manufacturing monitoring, 6-monthly checks help prevent catastrophic equipment failure and satisfy strict Australian insurance requirements.

Yes, HK Calibrations provides on-site thermal imaging services across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Our expert technicians can identify electrical faults, insulation gaps, and mechanical friction issues at your site, providing immediate reporting to help prevent unplanned downtime.

Insurance providers in Australia often require traceable calibration certificates to prove that thermal inspections were conducted with accurate, certified tools. Traceability provides a legally defensible record of accuracy, ensuring your building's fire safety and electrical audits meet national regulatory standards.

Inconsistent readings or "ghosting" on the display often indicate a sensor calibration issue or internal lens damage. You should have the unit professionally serviced by an Australian lab to ensure your thermal maps are accurate and that you are not basing safety decisions on faulty data.

Thermal imaging identifies "invisible" heat signatures caused by loose electrical connections or bearing wear before they cause a fire or breakdown. Regular use of calibrated thermal tools reduces repair costs and ensures your facility remains compliant with Australian workplace health and safety (WHS) protocols.
