Modern bike frames are made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastics, which is exceptionally light and strong. But the way these frames behave in case of failure is fundamentally different from the old metal frames. Instead of bending, carbon fibre-reinforced plastics break. This exposes riders to dangerous situations; failures can lead to injury or even death.

Thermal imaging, the technology that is now widely used for a broad variety of preventative maintenance applications is proving ideal for solar panel installers. Tony Hargan of South Survey in Clitheroe sells the FLIR range of thermal imaging cameras and he confirms the falling price of the technology is proving a powerful driver. “Cost is no longer a barrier to installers using this technology. Although the advanced thermal imaging cameras o...

FLIR Systems has released an applications report and video that demonstrates how process operators at the Borealis high-pressure, low-density polyethylene plant in Stenungsund, Sweden are using a FLIR GF306 optical gas imaging camera to detect potentially dangerous gas leaks. In the LDPE production process - ethylene, a highly flammable hydrocarbon, is converted into polyethylene in a high-pressure polymerization reaction.

An applications report is available from FLIR Systems that describes how its infrared camera systems were selected and have been used by NASA Langley Research Center for its shuttle and International Space Station programs.

In Rockwool’s opinion, thermal imaging is the ideal tool for determining the effectiveness of insulation material and the company is working with FLIR Systems ITC to provide industry with a dedicated training programme for this application. Its aim is to give Rockwool distributors and building professionals in Germany, access to expert tuition in the practical use of thermal imaging for building science.

An applications report from FLIR Systems details how electrical power utilities have, by using FLIR thermal imaging cameras and automation software, been able to remotely monitor impending equipment failures and security breaches at any time day or night.

Infrared is certainly the quickest and easiest method of spotting electrical and mechanical faults. These are prime applications for the FLIR Systems’ ThermaCAM® thermal imaging cameras and there is a model in the range to suit every job and every budget.

Leading test equipment rental company Livingston, in association with infrared camera manufacturer FLIR Systems, is to stage a workshop on the use of advanced thermal imaging within the building industry.

The new WYKO thermography department based in Tyseley, Birmingham has achieved a notable success in offering the Coors brewery in Burton the potential to save up to £60K annually in energy costs.

FLIR® A-Series smart infrared cameras see thermal patterns in real time. They produce infrared video output with embedded temperature measurement data that can trigger alarms, steer processes, inform product development and ensure quality. FLIR Systems is the world leader in this technology and its cameras are easily affordable especially when considered against the significant cost savings and quality assurance potential.
