Safety in Thermal Imaging
Across the world the approach to safety is quite varied, and one can easily become complacent if you do not take a wider view of it. In many forums, regardless of the engineering discipline or matter of social interest, there will be varying views about what is acceptable in terms of safety or what should be common knowledge.

Infrared Thermography as a Diagnostic Tool for Roofing Systems
Thermography is typically used for condition assessment and forensic studies, as well as quality assurance inspections of new installations, repairs, and retrofits. Performed properly, thermography can provide valuable insights into the condition of a roofing system by graphically documenting the extent and location of subsurface moisture within a roof..

Mechanical Infrared Opportunities
While infrared is one of the most versatile of condition monitoring tools, we often fail to utilize it to its full potential. We know infrared is a key technology for all levels of electrical applications but when establishing condition monitoring programs, we may not realize what a great support technology it is for a variety of mechanical applications....

Procedures
The development of inspection guidelines or procedures are crucial to the success and sustainability of infrared programs. They can improve safety, consistency and support the continuity of your program. This brief tip will introduce the benefits of creating and utilizing infrared procedures. Also examples of the concept of generic and specific guidelines that can be used on different equipment categories will be shown.

Is That a “Real Hot Spot” or Just a Reflection?
So much emphasis is placed on emissivity that in many cases reflectivity is not given the respect and attention it deserves. When capturing high-quality infrared data, reflected or background energy must be known, along with an understanding of how it is influencing the image and data.
