Infrared Thermography is the technique of producing a

visible image of invisible infrared light (for our eyes)

emitted by objects according to their thermal condition

• Sir Frederick William Herschel
• Born in Hanover, Germany 1738

He was interested in verifying how much heat passed

through filters of different colors when observed in the
sun.

The colors let in a different level of heat.

Herschel passed sunlight through a glass prism and

with this a spectrum was formed (the "rainbow" that
forms when light is divided into its colors)
• The color red outside the visible radiation is a
highest temperature.

• This updated radiation called heat rays and

then infrared

(infra: means below) That is below the red

energy level.

Applications. Astronomy, medicine, public

safety, rescue, electronics, meteorology, process
engineering, industrial maintenance, vegetation
analysis, the study of ocean temperatures by
the situations of some .
THERMOGRAPHY IN WORK
Thermographs can be applied in any situation where a problem or
condition can be visualized by means of a temperature difference.

• Locate damaged insulation.

• Identify losses.
• Locate overheated cables,
conductors or pipes
