Infrared Imaging
This testing technique uses an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object.
The infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye. We percieve this part of the electromagnetic spectrum as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot.
Infrared thermograpic cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications from medical to automotive to manufacturing to marine...
An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image and perform temperature calculations.
Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems.
A picture says a thousand words; infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that lets you instantly visualize and verify thermal performance. DANWAY INSPECTION GROUP infrared cameras show you thermal problems, quantify them with precise non-contact temperature measurement, and document them automatically in seconds.
