Page 111: Screening Alarm
Screening alarm 21.1 General The screening alarm can be used, for example, at airports to detect passengers with ele- vated body temperatures, which may indicate the presence of a fever. The screening alarm can also be used to detect temperature anomalies in a series of in- spected objects in a similar/fixed setup.
Page 112 Screening alarm Note • Every time you push the programmable button , a sample is saved. Make sure you aim the camera toward an object within the interesting temperature range when you push (and hold) the button. • The algorithm has a memory of the last 10 samples. It discriminates between the high- est and lowest values, and calculates an average of the remaining values.

Page 252: Application Examples
Application examples 30.1 Moisture & water damage 30.1.1 General It is often possible to detect moisture and water damage in a house by using an infrared camera. This is partly because the damaged area has a different heat conduction property and partly because it has a different thermal capacity to store heat than the surrounding material.
Page 253: Figure
Application examples 30.2.2 Figure The image below shows a connection of a cable to a socket where improper contact in the connection has resulted in local temperature increase. 30.3 Oxidized socket 30.3.1 General Depending on the type of socket and the environment in which the socket is installed, ox- ides may occur on the socket's contact surfaces.
Page 254: Insulation Deficiencies
Application examples 30.4 Insulation deficiencies 30.4.1 General Insulation deficiencies may result from insulation losing volume over the course of time and thereby not entirely filling the cavity in a frame wall. An infrared camera allows you to see these insulation deficiencies because they either have a different heat conduction property than sections with correctly installed insulation, and/or show the area where air is penetrating the frame of the building.
Page 255: Draft
Application examples 30.5 Draft 30.5.1 General Draft can be found under baseboards, around door and window casings, and above ceil- ing trim. This type of draft is often possible to see with an infrared camera, as a cooler air- stream cools down the surrounding surface. When you are investigating draft in a house, there should be sub-atmospheric pressure in the house.

Page 262: Thermographic Measurement Techniques
Thermographic measurement techniques 33.1 Introduction An infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. However, the radiation measured by the camera does not only depend on the temperature of the object but is also a function of the emissivity.
Page 263 Thermographic measurement techniques 33.2.1.1.1 Method 1: Direct method Follow this procedure: 1. Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection an- gle (a = b). Figure 33.1 1 = Reflection source 2. If the reflection source is a spot source, modify the source by obstructing it using a piece if cardboard.
Page 264 Thermographic measurement techniques 3. Measure the radiation intensity (= apparent temperature) from the reflection source us- ing the following settings: • Emissivity: 1.0 • D You can measure the radiation intensity using one of the following two methods: Figure 33.3 1 = Reflection source Figure 33.4 1 = Reflection source You can not use a thermocouple to measure reflected apparent temperature, because a thermocouple measures temperature, but apparent temperatrure is radiation intensity.
Page 265 Thermographic measurement techniques 5. Measure the apparent temperature of the aluminum foil and write it down. The foil is considered a perfect reflector, so its apparent temperature equals the reflected appa- rent temperature from the surroundings.

Page 267: About Calibration
34.3 Camera calibration at FLIR Systems Without calibration, an infrared camera would not be able to measure either radiance or temperature. At FLIR Systems, the calibration of uncooled microbolometer cameras with a #T810190; r. AJ/46209/46209; en-US...
Page 268: The Differences Between A Calibration Performed By A User And That Performed Directly At Flir Systems
The camera calibration certificate is con- firmation of this. It is proof that not only has the calibration been performed by FLIR Sys- tems but that it has also been carried out using calibrated references. Some users own or have access to accredited reference sources, but they are very few in number.
Page 269: Non-Uniformity Correction
About calibration For instance, one has to ensure that the distance between the blackbody and the camera as well as the diameter of the blackbody cavity are chosen so as to reduce stray radiation and the size-of-source effect. To summarize: a validated protocol must comply with the physical laws for radiance, and not only those for temperature.
Page 270: History Of Infrared Technology
History of infrared technology Before the year 1800, the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the in- frared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800.
Page 271 History of infrared technology Moving the thermometer into the dark region beyond the red end of the spectrum, Her- schel confirmed that the heating continued to increase. The maximum point, when he found it, lay well beyond the red end – in what is known today as the ‘infrared wavelengths’. When Herschel revealed his discovery, he referred to this new portion of the electromag- netic spectrum as the ‘thermometrical spectrum’.
Page 272 History of infrared technology Figure 35.4 Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major break- through, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer re- sponded.
Page 273: Theory Of Thermography
Theory of thermography 36.1 Introduction The subjects of infrared radiation and the related technique of thermography are still new to many who will use an infrared camera. In this section the theory behind thermography will be given. 36.2 The electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is divided arbitrarily into a number of wavelength regions, called bands, distinguished by the methods used to produce and detect the radiation.
Page 274: Blackbody Radiation
Such cavity radiators are commonly used as sources of radiation in temperature refer- ence standards in the laboratory for calibrating thermographic instruments, such as a FLIR Systems camera for example. If the temperature of blackbody radiation increases to more than 525°C (977°F), the source begins to be visible so that it appears to the eye no longer black.

Theory of thermography 36.3.1 Planck’s law Figure 36.3 Max Planck (1858–1947) Max Planck (1858–1947) was able to describe the spectral distribution of the radiation from a blackbody by means of the following formula: where: Blackbody spectral radiant emittance at wavelength λ. λb Velocity of light = 3 ×...

Page 277: Stefan-Boltzmann's Law
Theory of thermography At room temperature (300 K) the peak of radiant emittance lies at 9.7 μm, in the far infra- red, while at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K) the maximum of the almost insignifi- cant amount of radiant emittance occurs at 38 μm, in the extreme infrared wavelengths. Figure 36.6 Planckian curves plotted on semi-log scales from 100 K to 1000 K.
Page 278: Non-Blackbody Emitters
Theory of thermography Using the Stefan-Boltzmann formula to calculate the power radiated by the human body, at a temperature of 300 K and an external surface area of approx. 2 m , we obtain 1 kW. This power loss could not be sustained if it were not for the compensating absorption of ra- diation from surrounding surfaces, at room temperatures which do not vary too drastically from the temperature of the body –...
Page 279 Theory of thermography For highly polished materials ε approaches zero, so that for a perfectly reflecting material λ (i.e. a perfect mirror) we have: For a graybody radiator, the Stefan-Boltzmann formula becomes: This states that the total emissive power of a graybody is the same as a blackbody at the same temperature reduced in proportion to the value of ε...
Page 280: Infrared Semi-Transparent Materials
Theory of thermography 36.4 Infrared semi-transparent materials Consider now a non-metallic, semi-transparent body – let us say, in the form of a thick flat plate of plastic material. When the plate is heated, radiation generated within its volume must work its way toward the surfaces through the material in which it is partially absorbed. Moreover, when it arrives at the surface, some of it is reflected back into the interior.
Page 281: The Measurement Formula
The measurement formula As already mentioned, when viewing an object, the camera receives radiation not only from the object itself. It also collects radiation from the surroundings reflected via the ob- ject surface. Both these radiation contributions become attenuated to some extent by the atmosphere in the measurement path.
Page 282 U according to the same equation, and get (Equation 3): Solve Equation 3 for U (Equation 4): This is the general measurement formula used in all the FLIR Systems thermographic equipment. The voltages of the formula are: Table 37.1 Voltages Calculated camera output voltage for a blackbody of temperature T i.e.
Page 283 5 volts, the resulting curve would have been very much the same as our real curve extrapolated beyond 4.1 volts, provided the calibration algorithm is based on ra- diation physics, like the FLIR Systems algorithm. Of course there must be a limit to such extrapolations.
