WELCOME TO THE PRESENTATION ON
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
WHAT IS INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY • The Process of writing involving the use of heat obtained by an image on a small picture tube by using INFRARED camera. • All objects in the universe above ABSOLUTE ZERO (-2730C) emit thermal radiations. • All thermal radiations are in the Infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum. • Infrared thermography allows us to see the thermal, or heat energy, that is radiated by objects.
WHY USE INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY • Infrared Thermography allows us to diagnose and pinpoint problems based on temperature differential of areas. Temperature provides an excellent identification of the condition of equipment. • It is ability of THERMAL CAMERA to “see” these early stages of increasing temperature that makes thermography such a valuable technology

CONDUCTION CONVECTION RADIATION Radiated Energy is a function of Temperature and Wave length Almost all energy is radiated in the infrared band of the electromagnetic Spectrum At 1000oK Energy is radiated in the visible band Total Energy Radiated; W = σεT4 (Stefan-Boltzman Law)

Thermal Radiation: The Electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body as a result of its temperature. Properties: Propagates at speed of light (c)= 3X108 m/sec Infrared radiation lies from 0.75–1000 µm Visible light lies from 0.4 – 0.75 µm Radiative Heat Transfer lies from 0.75 – 100 µm Most practical measurements can be made upto 20 µm Propagation of Thermal radiation takes place in form of discrete quanta each quantum having energy of E = h v, where v - frequency = c/λ h is Planck’s constant 6.625X10-34 J.s

Very hot objects radiate in the visible region also. The Sun at about 6000 0K appears to glow yellow to white hot An electric heater / stove at about 800 0K glows red but as the element cools, it looses its visible glow but continues to radiate. We can feel the heat with hand but can’t see the glow as the energy has shifted from RED To INFRARED Wein’s Displacement Law: λpk = 2898 / T , µm Thermal Infrared imagers have measurement capabilities with sensitivities down to 0.10C
