You Can See It, but Can You Measure It?
Just because you can see an anomaly does not mean you can radio-metrically measure it using an infrared camera. The concept of spatial and measurement resolution is one of several reasons and will be briefly described in this 5-minute fact...

Establishing Infrared Inspection Frequencies
You have an infrared camera. You’re ready to implement an infrared program. You know what assets you want to inspect. How do you establish an effective inspection frequency for your program? This short presentation will take you through the many, many aspects that must be considered when establishing inspection frequencies. Annual inspections do not support reliability. One set frequency for all assets is not the answer either. Take a few minutes to see what industry best practices suggest…

Know Your Emissivity
Emissivity is a measure of a material’s ability to emit infrared energy. The emissivity of a surface is the ratio of the energy radiated from it to that from a blackbody at the same temperature and wavelength and under the same viewing conditions...
