Infrared Imaging Applications
Infrared Inspection avoids costly
destructive testing, as well as reassure all parties
involved, that all damages have been identified.
No longer is there a need to 'start cutting holes'
in order to determine the extent of damages. As
we've known for years, 'a picture is worth
a thousand words.'
-
Grounding & collision
damages to fiberglass
Kevlar & carbonfiber hulls, cored composites
including Airex & Balsa, honeycomb, core
mat & other core materials
-
See into laminates & observe
delamination, dis-bonding, breaks, fractures,
crushing, voids, blisters & water entrapment
-
Carbon fiber mast inspection
-
Lightning damage to fiberglass
& carbonfiber
-
Electrical wiring & breaker/panel
inspection
-
See "hot" circuits
before failure!
-
Mechanical engine inspections
-
Lubrication features, water
& coolant flow, leaking exhaust systems,
etc

The non-destructive nature of Infrared inspection
is based on a sensitivity of .06 degree Fahrenheit,
FLIR P-20 Thermacam the video camera that detects
infrared radiation transfer through various materials,
then displays the temperature differentials and
offers instant still and motion video pictures.
The camera is a radiometric device that captures
temperature data in every pixel of the image for
later analysis.
