Thermography and thermal camera

This page contains an explanation of the question: "what is thermography?" as well as a link to our large selection of thermal cameras, also known as thermographic cameras. The new models of infrared cameras from Testo have just arrived, and there are many exciting news. Now you can thermograph with an app on your smartphone, stream live video with thermographic images, and much more. 

Most of our thermographic cameras can do the same, yet not quite. It all depends on your need for thermal imaging and a thermography camera. Do you need to thermograph electrical panels or houses? Discover wear on industrial machines? Detect moisture and mold?

The thermographic camera – your new favorite tool

The measuring instrument with many applications: There is no other measuring instrument that has as many applications as the thermographic camera. Here you can use the visualization of temperatures to ease your work:

• Building thermography – find thermal bridges and building defects
• In heating technology, you can use thermography to check for leaks in underfloor heating without breaking up the floor
• In connection with maintenance, a thermographic camera can be used to detect wear before system failures 

Thermographic camera 

Use a thermographic camera to detect leaks and thus avoid precious data power. You can use a thermographic camera to create a thermal image of an object or surface. This way, you can discover areas that might otherwise be difficult to see. 

Thermographic cameras can be used for a wide range of purposes - for example, to detect energy loss in buildings, find leaks in pipes, identify problems, and much more. A thermographic camera is also an essential tool in the industry, where it can be used to detect leaks in machines and equipment before they become larger. 

A thermographic camera shows, among other things, temperature differences, so you can easily spot leaks and faults, thus saving time and money in the long run. 

Should you invest in a thermographic camera? Then you should consider the following:

• Resolution: At least 160 x 120 pixels
• Thermal sensitivity < 120 mK (shows temperature differences from 0.12°C)
• Software for analysis and professional reports
• Easy and user-friendly operation

Find the right thermography camera for your needs

The large selection of thermographic cameras means that we always have the right solution for you in our warehouse in Smørum. Call and get the right thermographic camera at the right thermographic camera price. If you need a thermography camera for thermographing a house, you do not need a high sensitivity and resolution. However, if you need to troubleshoot an electrical panel using electrical thermography, we recommend one of the larger IR cameras with higher sensitivity that can zoom in on the individual cables in the electrical panel and provide a complete thermal image of problem areas and overvoltage.

What is a thermal camera?

A thermal camera is a camera that captures both heat and cold via infrared energy. A thermal camera sends a thermogram to your smartphone, allowing you to see the thermal conditions of what you are measuring. In short, a thermal camera is used to take pictures of various thermal conditions. There are different variations in colors in a thermal camera. If the color is dark, it means it is cold – but if the color is white, it means it is hot. This is what a thermal camera captures and displays on your phone.

What do you need a thermal camera for?

As mentioned, a thermal camera is used to measure heat and cold – and it can also be used in the dark. A thermal camera can be used for both professional and private use, for example, if you need to measure thermal conditions in your own home. Here, there can be financial benefits, as you can save money on your heating bill by measuring the windows and seeing if it is time to replace them. Or perhaps the underfloor heating is not functioning properly in your home, and you realize it is time to get it fixed. Thermography can help prevent costly repairs.

Advantages of using thermography and thermal cameras

Using a thermal camera is considered one of the best methods to spot deficiencies and potential sources of error. And it can be used for various purposes.

A thermographic camera is often used for insulation checks in various types of buildings. The thermal camera shows if insulation is needed. A scan with an IR camera can save you a lot of work, as it is possible to see hidden water pipes and wires using a thermal camera.

The pipes and wires are always warmer or colder than the rest of the wall, and therefore you can easily see temperature differences on the thermogram in the camera. You can always reliably locate hidden wires and pipes using a thermal camera.

Overall, thermography is a valuable tool for any business looking to improve energy efficiency, operational economy, and reduce operating costs. It allows companies to identify and solve potential problems before they become larger and more expensive, resulting in both improved finances and environmental impact.

The benefits of thermography and thermal cameras:

• Reliable and comparable results
• Easy to conduct
• Take measurements without interrupting production
• Inspect buildings in a short time
• Prevent breakdowns

Use of thermal cameras in the workplace

• Firefighter: a firefighter uses a thermal camera on their helmet. The thermal camera reacts to heat radiation, allowing them to locate where the fire is. Firefighters typically use two types of thermal cameras, which they use differently. One thermal camera is mounted on the helmet, equipped with a screen that is lowered in front of the visor, allowing firefighters to see temperature differences, as it is not possible to see anything in a smoke-filled room. The other thermal camera is handheld and used for inspections.
• Electrical technician: an electrical technician uses a thermal camera to see if the electrical installations have been performed correctly.
• Plumber: a plumber uses a thermal camera to see if the insulation of heating installations has been done correctly or if there are leaks in water pipes.
• Masons: a mason uses a thermal camera to identify settlement damage and weaknesses in the masonry construction and ensures it is fixed if necessary.

Typically, it is difficult for people to believe that there are any faults or deficiencies, as they often only believe what they see with their own eyes. Therefore, it is difficult for a specialist to explain to the customer about a completed job if the customer cannot see it with their own eyes. However, the result of new insulation is typically seen after a few months on the heating bill.

With a thermal camera, you can easily show the customer before and after pictures. And at the same time, you can check if your work has been done correctly. This could be insulation of ceilings, windows, or other.

Thermal camera for private use

A thermal camera can certainly be used for private use. You can use it whether you live in an apartment or a house. The thermal camera can help you save money if you have insulation problems in your home.

See our large selection of thermal cameras here and find out if you can save money by fixing your windows, creating thermal bridges, or if there is moisture in the walls.

Thermography

Thermography is used to see thermal conditions in buildings, among other things. Additionally, it is an essential tool used to detect energy waste. Thermography is therefore important for achieving energy savings and improving operational economy. 

When using a thermal camera to identify thermal folds in a building, energy can be used more efficiently, resulting in lower energy costs. 

Thermography is a quick and effective method for identifying potential problems that would otherwise have been overlooked by more traditional investigation methods.
