Step 1: Introduction to Thermal Imaging

 
 
 











  What is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging is the non-contact detection and measurement of infrared energy or temperature. All objects on earth, hot or cold, radiate. To learn more, view the Intro to Thermography Webinar.

How do thermal imagers work?
Much like digital cameras, Fluke thermal imagers capture pictures. Instead of seeing visible light like digital cameras, thermal imagers use a detector to measure infrared energy. These measurements are then used to create a thermal image by assigning colors to correspond with certain temperatures.

Who is using thermal imaging?
Maintenance professionals, facility managers and electrical contractors use thermal imaging to inspect, troubleshoot and maintain electrical, mechanical and process equipment. Detecting abnormal heat patterns on equipment prior to a failure allows these users to lower costs, increase productivity, reduce risk and make money.
