  • Infrared Inspection on Electrical Installations at Hospitals
    , to sophisticated imagers with built-in color cameras complete with reporting software. With an infrared camera, it only takes minutes to look at systems and equipment to evaluate their current condition based on thermal patterns. Infrared thermography provides a non-contact, online or real-time evaluation
  • 5 Things to Know Before Buying an Infrared Camera (.pdf)
    Buying an infrared camera - also called a thermal imager - to use in building inspections, energy audits, and weatherization programs is just plain smart. Why? Because infrared allows the operator to "see" through walls and ceilings to check for missing insulation, air infiltration, water
  • Infrared On-orbit RCC Inspection with the EVA IR Camera: Development of Flight Hardware from a COTS System
    In November 2004, NASA's Space Shuttle Program approved the development of the Extravehicular (EVA) Infrared (IR) Camera to test the application of infrared thermography to on-orbit reinforced carboncarbon (RCC) damage detection. A multi-center team composed of members from NASA's Johnson Space
  • Infrared Inspections on Electric Panels without Removing Covers: Can the Inspection be Completed Correctly?
    this paper is to complete several electrical component inspections using infrared diagnosis with breaker cabinet covers on and off to determine if the scans can be successful by leaving the covers in place. Before and after images were collected on several different cabinet locations to determine
  • Using NIR for Inspection Applications
    the camera can help differentiate organic vs inorganic matter in inspection applications. The detail and sensitivity at this wavelength is a result of our superior camera design that does not contain infrared filters, anti-aliasing filters or data altering firmware commonly found consumer camera systems
  • Infrared Window Installation Hints and Tips
    Once the infrared windows are installed, we will use infrared inspections to inspect the switchgear and the results from these inspections are then put into reports. Many infrared cameras do not have a digital camera and the windows do not normally allow for clear visual images due to issues
  • Sensor-based Food Inspection and Sorting
    Food inspection based on sensors for the visual, shortwave infrared, UV and X-ray realms in connection with automated sorting and classification methods has become a major field of application for advanced image capture systems and infrared cameras such as those made by Xenics.
  • Tips, Tools, and Trends in the Infrared Industry
    The hardest part of starting an internal infrared program is justifying the cost of the camera, software and training to do the infrared inspections. The manager's standard question is, "What is the Return on Investment (ROI) for implementing an infrared program?" Justifying the ROI for a new
  • Marketing & Building a Thermal Inspection Business......The WOW!! Factor
    I use the WOW Factor! So what is the WOW Factor? Remember the first time you saw an Infrared Camera in action? Your first reaction was probably WOW!!! How does the camera do that? That's what I call the WOW Factor. By capturing and embracing the power of the WOW Factor you can building and expand
  • Applying Infrared Imaging Techniques to Marine Surveying ... continued
    my FLIR Systems ThermaCAM (R) E4 infrared camera and scanned the hull exterior. What I saw was both dramatic and very informative. Now I had thermal images that supported what I found using UT. The basis of this study lent itself to more of a qualitative versus a quantitative inspection. The purpose
  • Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) with a Spectrally Filtered Cooled Mid-Wave Infrared Camera
    of such emissions with statistics showing that 84% of the leaks are coming from only 0.13% of the equipment. Current technology consists of hand held toxic vapor analyzers (TVA's), or "sniffers" which are accurate but labor intensive in that inspections must conducted as point-to-point surveys in close
  • Hidden Structures Made Visible: Non-invasive Art Inspection in the SWIR to Terahertz Realm (EN)
    Among the investigative techniques applied to art inspection and restoration, infrared imaging plays an important - and rapidly growing - role. By deploying appropriate sensors and cameras with high resolution art restorers and conservators can effectively engage in the examination of valuable art
  • Applying Infrared Imaging Techniques to Marine Surveying ... Identifying Moisture Intrusion in a Wood Cored FRP Yacht.
    illustrates how the advances made in FLIR's ThermaCAM (R) FirstMate E4 infrared camera, including the ability to perform post processing of radiometric JPEG images, enhance the inspection of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems on boats. It will review common deficiencies found in vessels
  • InGaAs SWIR Cameras Open New Opportunities
    Shortwave infrared imaging is finding new applications by improving spectroscopy, inspection, and more.
  • MW-IR Reflectance Inspection Through Organic Coatings
    without cause. By employing nondestructive techniques to inspect the aircraft exterior/interior skin and structure without removing coatings, the amount of stripping and reapplication of coatings that occurs at the military rework facilities can be substantially reduced. An advanced infrared (IR
  • Enhancing Electrical Maintenance Surveillance Systems
    but are not limited to: infrared thermography, airborne ultrasound, motor current analysis, power quality monitoring, corona cameras and visual inspections.
