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 [...]
What is emissivity and why is it important? What is emissivity? If you want to measure absolute temperatures with a thermal camera, you must have a working understanding of “emissivity”. Emissivity is a measure of how well a material radiates heat. It is the ratio of the heat radiated by the material to [...]
Thermal Infrared Imaging Explained Thermal infrared imaging requires the use of special cameras (IR cameras). The imaging sensors in these cameras are sensitive to wavelengths in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thermal infrared imaging is also referred to as “non-visible” imaging, since the infrared spectrum is not visible to the human eye. [...]
VMA's 30 Seconds to Mars's Live Performance In this video, we’re going to show you the technology that was used in the 30 Seconds to Mars live performance during the MTV Video Music Awards 2017. A lot of you were interested in learning more about how this effect was achieved. We were using [...]
