  • How to Find Leaks in Concrete Using a FLIR Thermal Imaging Camera

    Pipe leaks within concrete, i.e., “slab leaks” are identifiable with a thermal imaging camera, but due to a variety of influential factors, they aren’t always identifiable unless you know what to look for and have the right tools. Many homes today in various parts of the country are built with concrete and in-floor radiant heating in concrete slabs, and homes dating back to the 1950s as well. As the odds are in favor of encountering concrete more than once, FLIR can help ease the process when it comes to inspecting this dense material.

  • How FLIR Helped 24 Lions in the World’s Largest Conservation Effort of its Kind

    Twenty Four Lions, a conservation project spearheaded by the Cabela Family Foundation and its conservation partners, carried out the largest move of lions across an international boundary in world history to restore their population in Mozambique’s Zambeze Delta.By using FLIR thermal imaging technology, the team was able to safely and successfully accomplish the most ambitious conservation effort of its kind on August 5, 2018.

  • FLIR Cameras Reveal Thermal Characteristics of Microelectronic Devices

    At the University of Texas at Arlington, the team of Dr. Ankur Jain, who heads the Microscale Thermophysics Laboratory, studies a wide range of topics related to microscale thermal transport. The laboratory makes use of diverse modern equipment and instruments, including thermal imaging cameras from FLIR Systems.

  • Next Generation IR Technologies Solve High Speed Automotive Testing Challenges

    Product research and development on internal combustion engines, brake rotors and tires, and high speed airbags are just a few of the areas that truly benefit from high speed, high sensitivity thermal characterization testing.

  • Infrared Camera Accuracy and Uncertainty in Plain Language

    It’s tough to trust measurements from instruments when you don’t have a clear understanding of how their sensitivity and accuracy is derived, and many times infrared cameras fall in this category. Additionally, discussions of infrared camera measurement accuracy typically involve complex terms and jargon that can be confusing and misleading.

  • Detecting Cold Streaks in Specialty High-Gloss Paper

    A North American paper manufacturer was experiencing challenges with their specialty paper process. Wet coating streaks were causing build-up on the roll covers, damaging the surface and costing the plant $1M USD annually per machine in unplanned downtime, maintenance, and lost production. Optical cameras weren’t sensitive enough to detect the subtle changes in sheet characteristics and moisture content associated with streaks.
