What is Thermography?

As used here, Thermography is defined as: The use of technology to display or "see" part of the electromagnet spectrum that is not visible to the human eye. By sensing infrared radiation emitting from an object, converting it and displaying it in the visible light spectrum, it is possible to produce images which measure and display the temperature range within the image.

Why use our Thermogram Services?

A thermal image or thermogram is a picture of infrared radiation that displays an image by indicating different temperatures. By observing radiation outside the visible light range we are able to “see” temperature differences and to draw various conclusions.

This image can be used for many things including “seeing” an overheated bearing or electrical connection.  It can also “see” not so obvious things, such as sediment in a pipe. It does not actually see the sediment through the pipe (it is not an x-ray) but it sees a difference in the temperature that appears on the image and the viewer may infer that the sediment is there.

Using a thermal camera properly is dependent on setting it up correctly, understanding the environment of the scene, being able to interpret the image properly, and avoiding false conclusions. This requires some understanding of the science, the camera and the objects to be examined.
