  • Environmental protection with a FLIR optical gas imaging camera

    Some industrial, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants emit gases that can harm the environment and impede the health of company employees and inhabitants of the surrounding area. Environmental protection agencies have the responsibility to make sure that these emissions fall within governmental and international policy guidelines.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Preserve Italy’s Cultural Heritage

    Historical architecture is an important part of Italy's cultural heritage, so good maintenance of these buildings is crucial for their preservation. No-one would want the Cathedral of Gravina in Puglia to deteriorate into a ruin, for instance. That is why the Altamura, Italy, based survey company IR HotSpot investigates historical buildings with a FLIR thermal imaging camera, looking for water damage and other building defects. With the information gained from thermographic surveys using a FLIR thermal imaging camera the preservation of these highlights of Italian culture is ensured.

  • Structural survey post-earthquake aided by IR Thermography applied to cultural heritage

    The earthquake happened in Abruzzo (Italy) April the 6th, 2009 killed about 300 people. Furthermore, many works of art have been almost destroyed or are in a great danger of collapse. Monuments carrying centuries of history, Important buildings, like Churches, palaces or castles, in the city of Aquila or smaller villages nearby needs to be quickly restored, but first of all checked. Unfortunately, not only human beings, but even precious frescoes must be evaluated in order to be saved. The emergency needs fast, safe, reliable tools.

  • Inspecting building insulation, HVAC systems and refrigeration units with thermal imaging

    "Building inspectors have been using FLIR thermal imaging cameras for energy audits for decades, but the investment cost prevented many building and installation companies from buying one. In recent years increasingly affordable models have entered the market. One of the building professionals that leaped at the opportunity is Björn Blomgren of the Nybro, Sweden, based service company Hammarstedts. "

  • Worldwide stonewool insulation market leader ­recommends FLIR thermal imaging cameras

    Insulation material manufacturer Rockwool has establishments all over the world and is considered by many to be the global market leader in the insulation business. Recently Rockwool Germany has started a thermography project, recommending FLIR thermal imaging cameras.

  • Thermal imaging cameras from FLIR help optimize low-cost housing solution

    As part of its many charity projects ArcelorMittal has developed steel based housing solutions for Romanian families in need. The houses needed to be simple, safe, decent, and above all: well insulated. That is where FLIR thermal imaging plays an important role. Research and development professionals at ArcelorMittal Liège Research used FLIR thermal imaging cameras to optimize the design of this housing solution.

  • Thanks to Thermal Imaging, "Erdinger Weissbräu" Ensures that Kegs Contain Wheat Beer and Nothing Else!

    A FLIR Systems ThermoVision™ A20-M camera now measures the temperature of every keg before it leaves the conveyor belt of the filling installation. If the infrared camera identifies a keg with a different temperature, it sets off an alarm and the conveyor belt is automatically halted. The keg is then manually removed.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras in the Food Industry

    Thermal imaging cameras are such a tool. Using FLIR thermal imaging cameras, you can make automated non-contact temperature measurements in many food processing applications. Analog video outputs can be viewed on video monitors, and digital temperature data, including MPEG4 video outputs, can be routed to a computer via Ethernet.

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Determine Road Conditions in Finland

    The roads in Finland comprise 78,141 kilometers of highways, paved roads and gravel roads. Monitoring and maintaining these roads can be challenging in a country where in the winter temperatures can drop to -40 °C and days become so short that the sun does not clear the horizon at all in some areas. It is therefore not surprising that Finnish road inspectors are always looking into new non-destructive testing technologies that can make their job easier and more effective.

  • FLIR Arms Intelligent Power Inspection Robot with "Hot Eye"

    A substation is a power facility for voltage change, acceptance and distribution of electric energy into a traditional power system. During substation operation, usually 95% of the information from inspections comes from visual observation. Although video monitoring is also often used to monitor substations, this technology cannot analyze the operational status of the target equipment, which leaves the possibility for safety issues.

  • Mill Ladle Refractory Monitoring

    FLIR thermal imaging camera systems are used to monitor ladles in real time and warn of a breakout before it happens, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars by preventing injuries, equipment damage, and production downtime.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras for Flare Monitoring

    Thermal imaging cameras are an ideal monitoring tool, since they allow automated remote monitoring on a 24/7 basis in virtually any weather. In addition, thermal imaging cameras avoid many of the technical and cost-related problems associated with other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors, flame ionization spectrometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers.
