Performance - thermography
Thermography is the measuring and visualisation of the energy emitted by all objects with a temperature above absolute zero. This thermal energy is radiated in wave lengths that are already too many to be conceived by the human eye and can only be perceived by our body as heat. Infrared cameras produce images of this invisible heat radiation and therewith allow for concrete and non-contact temperature measurements for objects without affecting and so possibly adulterating them. Thus, infrared images make us see things usually not visible to the eye.

Touchable hot surfaces are invisible and therefore are a risk for humans. Most technical elements get hot before giving up their function. Thermographical inspections expose such problems and are valuable test procedures for the different purposes.
Utility value test/risk analyses:
In construction and development, thermal researches of prototypes with the help of conventional measuring methods are consuming in terms of time and costs. When realising the desired temperature distributions, thermography can be used effectively, because the advantage of this measuring method is the large number of measuring information without affecting the tested object. Thermal analyses range from function tests to thermal tolerance and serve for the detection of thermal problems, as for example regarding constructive temperature criteria, safety-related aspects or health hazards.
Functionality of textiles:
Thermographic inspections serve for the visualisation of physiologic clothing parameters, for example regarding the influence of material and cut for the wearing comfort or - regarding comparative measurements - the influence of various materials on the textile and fibre research. |
