Tap Into Infrared

Successful Programs Can Be Outsourced or Run In-House

by Jeffrey L. Gadd

Infrared thermography is emphatically embraced by those who have realized the benefits. Equally, infrared is dismissed by those who aren’t quite sure what it is or whether it has value. “I’ve been here twenty years and we never needed infrared” are words on the lips of more than one old salt. Well, things change, and this is an exciting time for those of us who are involved in the IR technology.

What is Infrared Radiation?

Infrared radiation is the transfer of energy from one object to another by infrared electromagnetic radiation.

Radiation heat transfer is totally different from conduction and convection in several ways:

1) Conduction and convection involve the transfer of thermal energy by direct contact between particles requiring the presence of matter

2) Radiation transfers thermal energy by electromagnetic energy and does not require any matter between the radiating source and the receiving object

3) Radiation will occur by electromagnetic emission and absorption

4) Conduction and convection is linearly proportional to the temperature difference between two materials. Energy from the surface of an object is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature

This is the way the sun warms up the earth, since the sun's temperature (6,000K) is much higher that earth's, the radiation flows from the sun to the earth, and is absorbed by the earth warming up the surface. It is relevant to virtually every industrial process on the globe.

IR Thermometer Incorporates Twin Laser Identification Of Target Spot Location At Any Distance

With an overall size of only 4” (100mm) long x 2.2” (55mm) dia., Process Sensors’ latest addition to their family of compact, non-contact, on-line temperature sensors features dual, converging lasers that brightly illuminate the exact location of the target spot at any distance from the lens. This feature greatly simplifies sensor aiming, and eliminates ambiguity that could result in error readings.

Infrared Windows - How Important is Transmissivity?

A 55 minute tutorial by Joe DeMonte of TEGG

If a thermographer does not properly calibrate their camera to compensate for transmission attenuation the results could be catastrophic misdiagnosis. But what if the thermographer does not know the transmission rate of the IR window? What if the transmission rate is variable or changing? Thermographers and anyone associated with or managing an electrical preventive maintenance program need to fully understand how this issue could affect their program if not controlled and compensated for.

Join Joe DeMonte of TEGG for a 60 minute recording of a Reliability Roadmap Web Workshop.

New Line of Infrared Products introduced by Process Sensors Corporation

Process Sensors Corporation has just introduced a new line of high accuracy, precision infrared pyrometers. The Metis Series utilizes a short wavelength, which minimizes the effects of emissivity changes. These low temperature models are ideal for measuring the temperature of metals and composites. Model MP23 with a Spectral Response of 2 to 2.6μm has a temperature range of 130 to 700°C and the MP25 with a Spectral Response of 2 to 2.8μm measures temperatures from 75°C to 1300°C.
