We have detected "thermal leakage" using an Ageema 550. Unfortunately it is difficult to say if such thermal leakage is due to insultation failure or leaking hot water. Only digging in the affected areas will tell you. In our case it was the sand and backfill which had settled. Perhaps experience will show the difference between leaks and settlement. I don't know of any literature, but I am sure there is some - somewhere.

Perhaps a little bit less effort than digging.         Reply  Translate  Close   Product Spotlight Combination of Digital Image Correlation and Thermographic Measurements StandInfraTec GmbH The combination of measuring results from the digital image correlation (ARAMIS, DIC) and temperat ... ure measuring data from infrared cameras permits the simultaneous analysis of the thermal and mechanical behavior of test specimens in the materials and components testing field. > 5 Showcases5 Videos SONOAIR - air-coupled Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspection System StandSONOTEC Ultraschallsensorik Halle GmbH For highly attenuating materials, the performance of the system is critical. The ultrasonic sensors, ... the scanning area and the system settings should be flexibly adapted to the test task and the material. These high expectations are met with the new and modular testing system SONOAIR. With the world’s first air-coupled phased-array UT inspection system SONOAIR we developed a technology that works with up to 4 transmitter and receiver channels with freely configurable square wave burst transmitters as wells as low noise receiving amplifiers. > 5 Showcases5 Videos Robotic laser shearography enables 100% inspection of complex, flight-critical composite structures StandDantec Dynamics GmbH An article in “Composites World Magazine” showcases Non Destructive Testing of aero-structures ... with Laser Shearography.
