Thermal Imaging

What is Thermal Imaging? 

Thermal imaging is a means of detecting and measuring 

infrared energy or temperature.

How do thermal imagers work? 

Similar to digital cameras, thermal imagers capture pictures.

Instead of visible light, thermal imagers measure infrared energy.

These measurements are used to create an image of colors

 which correspond to various temperatures.

Using thermal imagers

 
We use thermal imaging to find and document hidden problems

in composite laminates and sub components which

become questionable during routine inspections.

Thermal imaging uses

The use of thermal imaging equipment is not routine and we

 do not use it unless a special request from the client is received.

It is used predominately for detecting problems on

very high end vessels and damage claims.
