Optimize Infrared Viewing Windows with Materials and Coatings Infrared viewing windows are critical components of thermal imaging systems that play a significant role in transmitting infrared radiation from an object to the detector without compromising the integrity of the system. In harsh environments, where high temperatures, pressures, and contaminants can damage the optical system, [...]
Types of Packages That Can Be Inspected Using Thermal Imaging What types of packages can be inspected with thermal imaging technology? The answer to this question is crucial to ensuring the quality and safety of products within the packaging. Traditionally, inspecting the quality of seals in packaging has been a time-consuming and inefficient process. [...]
Condition Monitoring Methods for Predictive Maintenance Using the correct modality of condition monitoring is critical to ensure an asset or process's complete condition health assessment. Sometimes, feedback from multiple testing modalities is essential for accurate condition valuation. A multi-inspection approach to condition monitoring increases the chances of discovering multiple failure modes and detecting them [...]
How does a fire prevention plan benefit your workplace? A fire prevention plan can benefit your workplace by reducing the risks of fires and putting the safety of all employees first. What is a fire prevention plan? A fire prevention plan is a written document that outlines the procedures and actions that a business or [...]
What is the Difference Between Induction Seal vs Heat Seal? The main difference between an induction seal and a heat seal is the way in which the seal is created. Induction sealing uses electromagnetic induction to generate heat and create a tamper-evident seal, while heat sealing uses heat to bond two materials together. In this [...]
Top 5 Benefits of Having a Fire Detection System We have compiled the top 5 benefits to having a fire detection system installed in your business building. Early fire detection (EFD) systems can be a vital component to business facilities and places of employment. These systems are responsible for protecting lives and property while [...]
The Risk of Battery Thermal Runaway and How to Prevent It Battery thermal runaway is becoming a huge liability to companies that store and handle battery products. In recent years, battery storage, charging, and recycling centers have experienced increased fire activity caused by lithium ion battery thermal runaway. One solution to reducing the risk of [...]
Ensuring Packaging Seal Integrity with Infrared Inspection Package seal integrity is critical for today’s manufacturers. For example, in the food and beverage space, faulty packaging limits the shelf life of a product. This increases waste, especially for perishable items where package leaks accelerate the decomposition process. For the pharma and health industries, package sterility ensures [...]
What is the difference between Passive vs Active Thermography? If you ask someone what infrared is, they'd probably say "it's the technology used in night vision goggles and gun sights". While this might be true, there is more to it. IR produces temperature differences that are readable by cameras. In this article, we explain the [...]
The Top 9 Different Types of Non Destructive Testing What is Non-Destructive Testing? Non-destructive tests (NDT) are methods that do not damage the parts being tested. NDT uses various inspection techniques to assess individual or group components. By employing different principles from physics, chemistry, and mathematics, NDT can test components without causing damage. NDT [...]
