Why Thermal Imaging is Heating Up

You’ll be excited to know thermography services are in high demand. But ﬁrst a few of

the basics in case you want a quick refresher on how infrared technology works.

Making the Invisible Visible

Virtually everything in our world emits infrared radiation.

While neither the naked eye nor a digital camera can see the

infrared spectrum, you feel its effects all around all the time

in the form of heat – from sunlight, electrical equipment, and

industrial processes to cold air drafts, ice cubes, and even

the nose of a dog.

Fortunately, FLIR infrared cameras can detect and capture

thousands of non-contact temperature measurements in

real time, transforming them into vivid thermal images that

instantly show you where hot spots are.

Opportunities Abound

The efﬁciency of thermal imaging has proven its effectiveness

many times over in saving homeowners and companies a

bundle. In fact, cutting waste and preventing production

loss pays huge ROI beneﬁts for many organizations; in some

cases, into the tens of thousands and even millions of dollars.

That’s why thermal cameras are fast becoming an essential

tool in building performance and predictive maintenance

circles. Plus, the technology just keeps getting better and is

now more portable, ﬂexible, and affordable than ever. So, if

you’re just venturing into thermography, this is a great time

to get in on the action. And if you’re already well-established,

we wish you continued success.

Stop and consider the importance of the following in our daily lives:

•Expedientinsuranceclaims

•Infrastructurereliability

•Productionprotability

•Restoredlivability

•Structuralintegrity

•Thesearchforbigfoot

OK, so maybe not every infrared application is serious business. But most are.

After all, who wants to pay more for heating and cooling, or live with termites and

rodents chewing through walls? What’s the impact to commerce when power gets

knocked out by a transformer failure that could have been averted? How much

revenue will be lost per hour when a critical piece of manufacturing equipment

suddenly goes down? What’s the cost of injuries when someone is unwittingly

exposed to lurking danger?

All these situations and many more can beneﬁt greatly from taking preventative

measures based on thermal imaging inspections. On the next few pages, you’ll see

sample images of problems caught in time.

The Advantage of a FLIR Camera Over an IR Thermometer: One Sees and One is Blind

IR thermometers, a.k.a. temperature guns may be able to give you one average temperature reading at a time but

they can’t produce a single image. So imagine how long would it take to scan a room full of electrical panels. Accuracy

is another concern. The farther away, the more general the measurement and more likely you’ll miss a critical

anomaly. Standing closer might yield better results but it’s also more dangerous.

With a FLIR thermal camera, each snapshot provides a picture worth thousands of calibrated, radiometric

temperature measurements whether taken up close or farther away. To actually be able to see heat signatures arms

you with the power to locate and solve hidden problems much more quickly.

*The thermal images shown are for illustrative purposes only, and may not have been taken by the camera series depicted.

Thermal cameras give you thousands of accurate

temperature readings in every image, so you’ll

get the whole picture – up close or far away.

Temp guns don’t necessarily detect what’s

under the laser dot; they only show an average

temperature of an area. And the farther away,

the less accurate.
