Infrared Thermography is the technique that uses an infrared imaging and
measurement camera to “see” and “measure” invisible infrared energy being
emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is energy is not visible
because its wavelength is too long for the sensors in our eyes to detect at
temperatures below 525 degree Celsius. It is the part of the electromagnetic
spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared
spectrum everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits infrared
electromagnetic energy. Even cold objects such as ice cubes emit infrared
radiation. The higher the temperature of the object, the greater the infrared
radiation emitted. The Infrared camera converts the radiation into an electrical
output to form a two dimensional image and allows us to see levels of energy
that our eyes cannot discern! In the industrial/commercial environment, almost
everything gets hotter or cooler before it fails, making infrared cameras
extremely valuable diagnostic tools with many diverse applications. As industry
strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product
quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras
continually emerge. Energy loss, especially form structure, has been highlighted
in the latest building codes and faulty refractory or insulation in industry
adds to the outlay for energy, increasing consumption and raising the cost of
products. There is no better inspection techniques that Infrared Thermography to
find these thermal anomalies. Thermography is used in so many industries for
such a variety of application, it is no wonder that most companies have looked
into using this technology in some form. The list of applications is limited by
imagination but include:
