About Thermal Imaging
What makes thermography so useful?
There are 3 things that make infrared thermal imaging especially useful:
- It is non-contact leak detection and uses remote sensing – Thermography does not affect the target or intrude upon it in any way.
- It is 2 dimensional leak detection – Comparisons between areas on the target are possible: the technician can measure at two points or a hundred points in the same image, and then compare them.
- It is in real time leak detection – Immediate action is possible as real time imaging allows for fast scanning of stationary targets.
FLIR T640 and Fluke TiR32 infrared cameras are used for the best possible result.
