  • Understanding qOGI

    Quantitative optical gas imaging is the ability to utilize optical gas imaging – specifically, cooled hydrocarbon OGI – combined with an algorithmic solution, to quantify gas leaks invisible to the naked eye. When a leak is discovered (or suspected) in a more accessible location, a qOGI system provides superior ease of use. A TVA requires frequent calibration using a field calibration kit and works only “in the moment.”

  • Teledyne FLIR Announces FLIR ONE Edge Pro – The First Truly Wireless Mobile Infrared Camera

    Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced its FLIR ONE® Edge Pro, a wireless thermal-visible camera for mobile devices. Unlike previous models, the reimagined FLIR ONE Edge Pro doesn’t need to be physically connected to its companion mobile device nor does it have separate models for specific operating systems, providing maximum flexibility for thermal inspections.

  • Measuring the heat generation of the fiber laser and utilizing it for optimization to produce higher power

    Dr. Reza Amani (Project Associate Professor from the Center for Attosecond Laser Science, Graduate School of Science at The University of Tokyo) utilizes thermal imaging cameras to measure heat that is generated on the gain fiber of a fiber laser, thereby preventing equipment damage or injuries to operators due to a rupture that may occur when temperature limits are exceeded. These cameras can help with giving instructions to students during experiments, improving safety for operators at on-site applications, and improving performance of the equipment, etc.

  • Thermal imaging identification protects police and the public during high-speed pursuits

    UK-based defence technology company QinetiQ worked with Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging cameras to solve this issue by developing a material to mark the top of emergency services vehicles.

  • Understanding Cooled vs Uncooled Optical Gas Imaging

    For more than a decade, FLIR Systems has manufactured infrared (IR) cameras to visualize gas leaks of various kinds. Historically, OGI cameras have been designed with cooled IR detectors that offer several advantages over uncooled detectors - but they often come at a higher cost. Advancements in the technology of uncooled detectors have allowed the OGI camera manufacturers such as FLIR to design and develop lower cost OGI solutions for these industries.

  • Phoenix Agencies Team Up to Leverage Cloud Data Fusion and Improve Traffic Flow

    The Phoenix Metropolitan Area has 4 million people spread over a number of individual cities. It is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, and like other metropolitan areas, it faces the specific challenges that come with managing such regions.

  • SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Implements IR Window Solutions

    When SLAC discovered a failed circuit breaker on some very old switchgear, they determined the optimal solution was the installation of infrared inspection windows.

  • Thermal imaging at Mach 1.4 - improving aircraft performance at the Aircraft Research Association

    Aircraft Research Association (ARA) works on innovative projects for the world’s major commercial aircraft and defence manufacturers. Using Teledyne FLIR technology, it recently set out to test a long-term theory that could make long-haul flights more efficient as countries move towards net zero.

  • Best Filtering Practices For Accurate Fired Furnace Tube Measurement

    Thermal imaging is an ideal non-contact inspection tool for tubes inside a working oil-refining furnace, but performing temperature measurement through flames is challenging. Fortunately, new filtering techniques are improving the accuracy of such measurements. 

  • Monitoring For Thermal Runaway To Prevent Fire In Electric Vehicle Battery Modules

    As the individual battery modules are connected, current will begin to flow between the components. Often, this current flow creates an increase in the temperature of the cells and/or modules. As the temperature increases, the voltage within the system will lower and result in an increase in the current, elevating the temperature even further. This cycle of increasing temperature is known as “thermal runaway”
