Thermal Imaging
By the use of a modern focal plane array thermal imaging
camera, and expertise in its use, it is possible to survey materials and equipment to detect changes in temperature
and to record these images for further analysis. Modern imaging cameras are light, portable and easy to operate
and offer excellent image clarity. This has ended the previous practices of capturing a polaroid film image alongside
the thermal image to aid in the diagnosis and reporting of faults.
The applications of thermal imaging are many and various, but can be summed up by the detection of temperature
change in a material or zone which may by the application of knowledge lead to the detection of faults, real or
potential.
It is this application of experience which can be of truly great benefit in the detection and quantifying of problems.
