There are many varying applications for thermography equipment and many companies and industries are now realising the benefit of using thermal technology to highlight and prevent costly problems.
Below we have highlighted a few of the many applications a thermal imaging camera can be used for.
Veterinarians can use thermal equipment like the Flir i3 Thermal Imaging Camera to highlight and find possible issues that may become problems later including sore/heat spots on a potential lame leg of a race horse.
Thermal cameras can be used to analyse electrical equipment, circuit boards and supplies. Thermal equipment used for this application can help prevent overheating and other problems that could lead to fire or shock.
Hospitals, G.P’s and private sport physiotherapists use infrared technology cameras like the Fluke TiS Thermal Imager to scan body parts, check for circulation issues, muscle damage and can be used to detect early signs of illness.
Thermal equipment can be used to detect heat loss and insulation issues. This is ideal for window fitters, roofers and insulation fitters as it can easily highlight which parts of a building needs attention.
The manufacturing industry use thermal equipment to analyse industrial / commercial machinery in order to highlight any problems and overheating mechanisms, helping to prevent production loss through early detection.
As a versatile piece of equipment, a thermal imaging camera can aid businesses in many different ways and for many different reasons. As more people realise this, there is going to be a greater demand for people with skills to perform thermal imaging scans.
Make sure you don’t get left behind.
