All objects emit a certain amount of infrared energy (IR). This IR radiation is not visible to the human eye which is able to see only a small amount of the overall electromagnetic spectrum. The amount of IR radiation that objects emit depends on their temperature. Hotter objects produce more thermal energy than colder ones. To determine the amount of IR light an object emits you need a thermal imaging camera, which is a special device that is designed to detect thermal energy. The level of IR radiation an object produces is also know as heat signatures and thermal imaging is the process of creating images that consists of heat signatures.
Thermal imaging cameras are also called Infrared cameras and work on basic principles. They are designed to identify infrared heat and then converted into electrical signals. The obtained electrical signal is then processed so that the camera can produce a detailed thermal image. This allows for precise infrared testing that can has many applications within the industry. In addition to providing precise temperature readings, another great thing about infrared testing is its non-invasive inspection method which means that it allows for gathering useful information about the temperature of different types of objects without causing any damage to the object being tested.
IR cameras are most commonly used in the construction industry to detect any structural faults in buildings. In medicine thermal imaging can be used to diagnose certain medical conditions. These advanced cameras can be very useful on excavation sites where a detailed thermal image of the site is required before archaeologist begin their search for artefacts. They can also identify potential defects in power grids or detect leaks in water lines. The main purpose of an IR camera in production plants is to contribute to proper maintenance of electrical equipment and machines. Since it's a non-contact device it allows you to measure the temperature of electronic tools and machines from a safe distance.
There are many different models of IR cameras that differ in both performance and design. One of the most popular models is the Flir T460 Thermal Imaging Camera. It's design resembles a standard camera, however it's advanced features make it one of the best on the market. The main thing that makes the Flir T460 Thermal Imaging Camera so efficient is its ability to provide detailed information about temperature differences within the desired target range. It's designed to make temperature measurements ranging from -20°C to 1500°C. The camera implements UltraMax Technology that is based on using super-resolution, a photography technique that has the purpose to increase the number of pixels yet minimise noise so as to provide a thermal image of enhance quality and precision.
