Fundamentals of Infrared Thermography
-
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY is the science of acquisition and analysis of thermal information from non contact thermal imaging devices.
Disciplines that connotes Thermography
1. Radiation science
2. Thermal science
3. Analysis techniques
4. Camera handling
5. Inspection routines and reporting
6. Applications
-
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
SPAN and LEVEL
SPAN is the range of
the temperature.
Thermal contrast
LEVEL is the middle part
of the span. Thermal brightness

INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
Three (3) important aspects that can never be change after storing an
image:
1. Temperature range The appropriate temperature range (-20 to 120, 0 to 350) that is set on the infrared camera.
2. Optical focus Proper focus on an image gives a quality result and accurate data gathering for better analysis of a thermal image.
3. Image composition The distance of the target object gives an overall contribution in analysing an image.

Types of heat transfer modes
1. Conduction The direct transfer of thermal energy from molecule to molecule that is caused by collisions between the molecules.
2. Convection This is a heat transfer mode where a fluid is brought into motion, either by gravity or another force, thereby transferring heat from one
place to another.
3. Evaporation/condensation
4. Radiation The transfer of heat by means of emission and absorption of thermal radiation.

Tips during IR thermal scanning
-
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHYTips during IR thermal scanning:
1. Always check the settings of the device before conducting an inspection.
2. Bring the necessary tools upon inspection (clamp meter, clip board, pencil, leather gloves).
3. Protect and avoid cleaning the lens to prevent scratch on the surface of the lens (scratch lens will give inaccurate reading).
4. Must able to distinguish a hot spot vs. a heat reflection from a source.
5. Must able to have the proper viewing angle on the target object.
6. Keep a safe distance to avoid any electrical accidents (approx. 1 meter as much as possible).
7. Do not conduct scanning during heavy winds or in rainy conditions.
8. Develop a quality and quantitative analysis approach.

Reflection or Hot spot?
Answer: Reflection

Whats your analysis? The generator is running for 2 hours and the area outside the office is warm. Will the camera see the radiation emitting from
the genset?
