What is the difference between Thermography, Thermal Imaging and Thermographics?

Nothing! They are all the study or utilisation of infrared energy to understand what is happening with a piece of equipment, building or person.

What can Thermography do for me?

Thermography is used to identify problems on electrical systems, within buildings or within ships that could not be easily found without shutting down or damaging items.

Are Infrared cameras expensive?

Relatively, yes. There is economic merit in using an experienced, qualified full time Thermographer delivering a quality service with good equipment at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a camera.

Can thermography be used in brightly lit areas?

Yes. Light in the visible spectrum has no effect on the infrared images.

How do cameras detect Infrared?

Modern cameras use uncooled bolometers. Our professional equipment has a matrix of 640 x 480 pixels giving 307,200 measurement points, each developing a voltage processed into a colour-coded, temperature-calibrated image.

I have a small Infrared spot gun / camera so why should I use a Thermographer with higher level equipment?

Low resolution imagers have a use for simple checks, but many inspections require a good understanding of infrared theory and materials. Using a specialist company is invariably more effective, cheaper and less hassle.

What sort of companies use thermal imaging?

Pixel Thermographics carry out thermal imaging across sectors including pharmaceutical, chemical, food, logistics, oil & gas, office & commercial, power generation, surveyors & architects, aerospace, automotive, construction, medical, health, councils, plumbers, builders & roofers, electrical testers, homeowners and insurance companies.

Will thermography affect the daily routine of my business?

No. Thermography is a non-invasive tool, so there is no need to switch any plant room equipment off; it produces the best results when the system is fully operational or under load.
