Infrared Thermography News & Insights

Did you know that an automobile can be used to gauge solar loading? Under the correct conditions, a parked car can serve as a cheap, but effective, pyranometer.

Despite the important role they play in a commercial facility, electric motors tend to be both out-of-sight and out-of-mind until they fail. Infrared thermography can be used as a cost-effective diagnostic tool for detecting problems within electric motor systems.

Infraspection Institute announced today a new Level I certification course for infrared thermographers.

Emissivity refers to an object’s ability to radiate infrared energy. Because infrared instruments measure radiant energy, it is imperative for a thermographer to understand emissivity and how it can vary.

Thermal imaging is a proven technique for detecting latent moisture within low-slope roofing systems. Under the right conditions, thermal imaging may also indicate the number and location of roof fasteners.
