New developments in thermal inspections
Abstract
Operating principles of a ThermAtrace are reviewed along with its applications. The instrument provides spacial registration between the thermal analog trace and the visual image of a scanned target and includes a 'delta-T' code for ready interpretation of the temperature differential span selected by an operator. The ThermAtrace can be used in thermal surveys of industrial plants, building inspections, electrical fault isolations, and in other potential problem areas. The improvements and refinements as a result of field experience are also described.
