Utilizing Infrared Thermography on Mechanical Assets to Increase Reliability
Some people think of mechanical infrared as a catch-all for anything that’s not electrical or a building. Some typical mechanical problems include excessive conduction (refractory), mechanical fatigue (heavy equipment), excessive friction (bearings), inadequate friction (belt drives)...

Do IR Cameras Measure Temperature?
Thermal imaging cameras and spot radiometers detect the thermal radiation emitted by a surface, so they don’t actually measure temperature...

What is Emissivity?
Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated from a material’s surface to that radiated from a black body (a perfect emitter of infrared radiation) at the same temperature and wavelength and under the same viewing conditions...
