What makes thermography so useful?
There are 3 things that make infrared thermal imaging especially useful:
- It is non-contact and uses remote sensing
- Thermography does not affect the target or intrude upon it in any way.
- It is two dimensional – Comparisons between areas
on the target are possible: we can measure at two points or a hundred
points in the same image, and then compare them.
- It is in real time – Immediate action is possible
as real time imaging allows for fast scanning of stationary targets.
We use FlukeTi55FT and Fluke TiR32 infrared
cameras. This allows us to take a digital photograph and draw out the infrared
to clearly show us where problems exist.
