High Resolution Infrared Thermal Imaging

High Resolution Infrared Thermal Imaging ...

What a HIGH RESOLUTION INFRARED thermal imaging camera? High resolution - the highest number of pixels (680x480) provides more details and sharper images than a lower resolution (80 x80). Infrared (IR) is another part of the electromagnetic spectrum of light than our eyes. Infrared is just below visible light our eyes. Ultraviolet light, on the other hand, spectrum just beyond our perception. All surfaces radiate and reflect infrared waves through the air. These waves travel through the lens of the camera that focuses them on a sensory microbolometer array called. The wave strength is measured by the sensory array and converted by a signal processor on a visible light value. grayscale signals of all pixels are converted into a TV signal the formation of a composite image. Thermal Imaging - the IR-camera shows surface radiation or temperature patterns. It does not walls, would an x-ray. We tend to look at the impact of images of evaporative cooling as water is wet and drywall with conductive transfer of thermal insulation where missing. With our knowledge features of construction, building materials and thermal transfer, we interpret these temperature patterns to produce a building performance diagnostic inspection. The camera provides a faster, more accurate estimate of the damage.

Things that inhibit or obscure this process items with a low emissivity, products such as glossy wallpaper, cove molding, glass, metal and tiles which reflect like a mirror. When conditions are favorable, finding moisture intrusion is like shooting fish in a barrel. The best time for to use the camera in rapidly changing temperatures or things in a stable condition, such as lack of insulation in the middle of the afternoon came from or water penetration the rain the night before or on the exterior ambient temperature is extreme and our HVAC system works just the opposite, it makes it easier to see heat loss / gain around windows and doors. The first thing in the morning when the sun rises and warms the surface of the walls / windows or later in the afternoon when the sun sets and surfaces begin to cool great time to make things more subtle or transient state in a way. The greater the thermal mass, the lower the temperature change compared with other materials previously. Solid concrete torrential rains are very easy to see in a block wall.

Night vision goggles and video cameras with Night Shot are not the same. Enhanced night vision only a small amount of light. Infrared wavelengths, we are not concerned with the glass and these products are not the processors to IR light into visible images.

What else is it good for you ask? It is excellent for identifying HVAC leaks or insulation problems within and outside the house. We can also see another solid concrete torrential rains. Moisture intrusion detection is our main focus. For flat roofs, moisture entrapment can be isolated for repairs. In an EIFS home, moisture intrusion around building envelope penetrations. We have even found a sub slab plumbing leak and many windows and the roof leaks. We have several top is leaking shower pan from under! Often times we find more than we expected. A special house we were called to the source of a leak to find. We found seven! Five of them were not related to the problem that generated the call! THIS IS THE FUTURE OF building inspections.
