THERMAL IMAGING USING INFRARED

What is Thermography? 

Infrared thermography, thermal imaging, and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects above absolute zero according to the black body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to see one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see variations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds; humans and other warm-blooded animals become easily visible against the environment, day or night. As a result, thermography is particularly useful to military and other users of surveillance cameras..continue..

An Overview of Thermal Imaging 

Specific uses of thermal imagers are widespread. Several major cost saving uses depend upon the temperature measurement capability of the imaging equipment and a great many commercial and industrial uses help produce significant cost savings and cost avoidances. Thermal imagers are one of the predictive maintenance tools being widely used in commerce and industry. Thermal imagers with temperature measurement capability, called sometimes "Radiametric Imagers" and Quantitative Thermal Imagers" are used also in many Non-destructive testing situations and some of the professional societies for non-destructive testing around the world, such as the American Society for Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) in the USA, have adopted Infrared Testing as a sanctioned testing method..continue..

FLIR Thermal Imager 

FLIR was founded in 1978, originally providing infrared imaging systems that were installed on vehicles for use in conducting energy audits. We later expanded our focus to other applications and markets for thermal imaging technology, such as stabilized thermal imaging cameras for law enforcement aircraft, radiometry devices for use in monitoring industrial systems, and thermal imaging systems for use in ground-based security and search and rescue. We have since grown substantially due to increasing demand for infrared products across a growing number of markets combined with the execution of a series of acquisitions. Today we are one of the world leaders in the design, manufacture, and marketing of sensor systems that enhance perception and awareness for a wide variety of users in the commercial, industrial, and government markets, internationally as well as domestically..continue..

Thermal Imaging for Transmission Lines 

Thermal imaging and the use of thermal imaging camera has grown considerably over the last decade. Among its application is as a tool in predictive maintenance of electrical facilities.Thermal Imaging cameras are not your ordinary cameras. It is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for Predictive Maintenance. It can detect anomalies that are often invisible to the naked eye, thermographically allows corrective action to be taken before costly system failures occur..continue..

Thermal Imaging for Law Enforcement 

Thermal imagers use infrared technology to give law enforcement officers a reliable heat picture of their surroundings, providing them a range of abilities they do not have when using night vision or flashlights. TacSight detects extremely small differences in temperature, so officers can easily distinguish people from their immediate surroundings. Needing no light to operate, TacSight generates high quality images on the darkest nights, even through smoke..continue..

Thermal Imaging Cameras 

We now offer thermal imaging cameras for on-site professional use, inspection of installations or machines, and security.  Thermal imaging cameras are improving the knowledge regarding infrared measurements. Models are smaller, easier to use and more economical. The PCE-TC series are the new generation of thermal imaging cameras. Their small design allows for complete portability. You don't need to be an expert to capture infrared images. The use of these thermal imaging cameras is extensive. In addition to inspection and industrial maintenance, thermal imaging cameras are a tool of interest for builders and architects. They also help investigators to determine infrared characteristics of various components. If you don't find the thermal imaging cameras you are looking for, please contact us on: +44 ( 0 ) 2380 98703 0 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our products..continue..

Human Body Thermal Imaging 

Thermography is a fast non-intrusive, non-contact means of detecting temperature radiance differences. The Land thermal imaging system, utilising a certified calibrated source, provides unparallel accuracy compared to other imaging camera techniques. The Human Body Temperature Monitoring System HBTMS was used successfully for mass screening in public places, such as airports, ports and terminals, following the need to restrict the spread of the recent deadly SARS outbreak..continue..
