Thermography
The definition of infrared thermography is the process of acquisition and analysis of thermal information from non-contact infrared imaging devices. In other words, an infrared (IR) camera captures infrared radiation which is emitted by all materials. The measured infrared radiation is correlated to its temperature, and then displayed as an image. The pictures taken by an infrared camera are called thermal images. The thermal images use color variations to differentiate between temperatures, allowing one to view thermal anomalies (temperature variations) in a component.
We started offering infrared services to meet the growing demand for the many infrared applications existing in today's industries. Using a Thermographer and an infrared camera under the guidance of a civil engineer we can:
- Detect moisture intrusions in low-sloped roof systems
- Identify extent of moisture intrusion in low-sloped roof systems thereby eliminating the replacement of acceptable roofing
- Detect moisture intrusions in building envelopes and structures
- Detect thermal heat loss
- Identify missing or damaged insulation
