Vibro Thermography NDT Technique Vibro-Thermography is an active thermography method that uses mechanical vibration to locate cracks. It is considered an active thermography method because this method does not rely on existing heat being present in the part that is being inspected. Vibro-Thermography uses ultrasonic frequencies to excite the specimen. These ultrasonic frequencies are typically [...]
Using Infrared Thermography for Battery Inspection Battery Inspection using Active Thermography becomes more important in order to stay competitive. Manufacturers of lithium-ion Batteries (LIB) are challenged with maximizing battery performance and minimizing costs to keep the adoption of LIB technology economically attractive. From toothbrushes to automobiles, earbuds to mobile devices, and toys to semi-trucks, [...]
What You Need to Know Before Buying an Elevated Body Temperature Screening System Elevated Body Temperature Screening This article discusses six topics you need to know before buying a thermal camera. There are so many options out there, it can quickly can overwhelming. Especially when you have no background in using thermal cameras for elevated [...]
Infrared Cameras Used for Elevated Body Temperature Screening The Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China has grabbed the attention of people around the globe. Thermal cameras are being deployed in record time for screening of elevated body temperature at airports and other public places. However, as useful and capable as this technology is, there is a [...]
Seal Inspection Using Thermal Cameras in Your Process Line Many packages for food, medical, pharmaceutical, supplies and other goods are packaged in bags that are being sealed using heat. Thermal bag seal inspection refers to using a thermal camera to inspect the heat signature of the bag seal, immediately after sealing. There are several different [...]
Flash Thermography NDT Technique Flash Thermography is an active thermography method for the non-destructive evaluation of materials. Non-destructive evaluation (“NDE”) or non-destructive testing (“NDT”) are often used interchangeably. Flash thermography is considered an active thermography inspection method, because the part under test is commonly at ambient temperature. Examining the part with a thermal camera would [...]
Glossary of Thermography Terms Absorption Amount of radiation absorbed by an object relative to the received radiation. A number between 0 and 1. Ambient Objects and gases that emit radiation towards the object being measured. Atmosphere The gases between the object being measured and the camera, normally air. Autoadjust A function making a camera [...]
Advantages Thermal Monitoring Used for 3D Printing Additive Manufacturing – an Overview The world of 3D printing, otherwise known as ‘Additive Manufacturing’ (AM) has experienced a significant boost in recent years. The industry is forecasted to grow to approximately 10.8 billion dollars by 2021, up from 2.2 billion in 2012. Modern technology can now [...]
Server Room Thermal Monitoring Information is the lifeblood of modern business. Data continuity and availability is critical to maintaining the integrity our communication networks, security systems, banking, and industrial sectors. When equipment failure strikes a mission-critical data center, costs mount quickly. At large, distributed IT facilities, unplanned failures can cost millions. In smaller, organizations [...]
Electrical Substation Monitoring Using Infrared Electrical Substation is Becoming a Very Important Task Keeping the lights on and the power distribution grid running are critical to maintaining our modern way of life. Everything depends on the power grid; from our food and water supply, to the factories, networks, security systems, and banking [...]
