Download or read book Infrared Thermography Recent Advances and Future Trends written by Carosena Meola and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact, non-invasive methodology which allows for detection of thermal energy that is radiated from objects in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum, for conversion of such energy into a visible image (such as a surface temperature map). This feature represents a great potential to be exploited in a vast variety of fields from aerospace to civil engineering, to medicine, to agriculture, etc. However, IRT is still not adequately enclosed in industrial instrumentation and there are still potential users who might benefit from the use of such a technique and who are not aware of their existence. This e-book conveys information about basic IRT theory, infrared detectors, signal digitalization and applications of infrared thermography in many fields such as medicine, foodstuff conservation, fluid-dynamics, architecture, anthropology, condition monitoring, non destructive testing and evaluation of materials and structures. The volume promotes an exchange of information between the academic world and industry, and shares methodologies which were independently developed and applied in specific disciplines.

Download or read book Infrared Thermography of Buildings written by Stephen J. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes a review of the current literature on the new subject of infrared thermography of buildings. Infrared thermography of buildings (IRTB) uses a thermal imaging scanner to detect heat loss, structural defects, moisture, and other anomalies in building envelopes. Photographs of the imagery called thermograms provide hard copy documentation of faults detected. Thirty-four references are abstracted, covering research and development, roof moisture surveys, and qualitative/quantitative field surveys. The readily obtainable sources were chosen for their practical approach to providing potential users who are not scientifically oriented with an opportunity to quickly grasp the value of this new technology.

Download or read book Laboratory Studies of Infrared Thermography in Roofing Moisture Detection written by DR. Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory evaluation of infrared thermography for detecting moisture in roofing specimens is presented. This study was based on laboratory controlled specimen preparation and testing conditions. For steady state heat flow, and in a few cases, transient heat flow, the effects of moisture on the surface temperature of the roofing specimens were determined by thermocouples and thermography. Surface temperatures determined by infrared thermography were shown to correlate well with the thermocouple temperatures. Two system performance parameters were assessed: threshold moisture content and the slope of the instrument response versus moisture content curve.

Download or read book Assesment of Effective R Value Of Building Envelope Using InfraRed written by Mohammed Abdul Waheed Khan and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography is an important and powerful technique for diagnostics and evaluation of building envelope, in terms of locating thermal bridges, damaged thermal insulation, air leakage, moisture damage, and cracks, all of which contribute to an increase in the energy consumption of the buildings. This is because typically the thermal gains or losses in practice are greater than those estimated during the design stage. Accurate and detailed information of where a problem occurs can reveal the source of the problem thus avoiding extensive renovation work and hence decreasing the cost of repair work and potential energy savings can be achieved. The present study is aimed at assessing the effective R-value of building envelope, using high definition thermal imaging technique.

Download or read book Infrared Thermography of Buidlings A Bibliography with Abstracts written by Stephen J. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains annotated abstracts of over 100 reports (66 more than the 1977 edition) on the new, but rapidly expanding subject on infrared thermography of buildings. Infrared thermography of buildings (IRTB) is a rapid, noncontact, real-time technique that uses an infrared thermal imaging system to detect heat loss or gain, structural defects, moisture, and other anomalies in building envelopes. Photographs (thermograms) or video recordings of the imagery provide hard-copy documentation of faults detected. The references cover remote sensing airborne surveys of large numbers of buildings, close-up ground surveys of individual buildings, and qualitative (speculative) and semi-quantitative (ground-truth) field surveys. The report presents examples of thermographic energy audits, roof moisture surveys, building retrofit surveys, solar panel analysis, window assessments, and other practical applications by government agencies and private sector survey teams. It lists research and development efforts to provide fundamental information to improve quantification accuracy, evaluate equipment, and develop interpretation standards, along with examples of daily usage in contract specifications, public awareness programs, and product testing.
