What is thermography?

All objects which are warmer than minus -

459 degrees Fahrenheit (absolute zero),

emit infrared heat radiation. Infrared radia-

tion cannot be seen by the human eye.

Thermal imagers, however, can convert

this infrared radiation into electrical sig-

nals, and present them as a thermal

image. The heat radiation is thus made

visible for the human eye.

Designed for daily use in industrial surroundings

With excellent detector and lens quality, as well as intelli-

gently engineered system solutions, no detail is missed: this

applies to large-scale panorama images just as well as to

small details of the measurement object. In addition to the

intuititive menu layout, the PC software IRSoft provides fast

and efficient professional analysis of the image data.

Even the smallest temperature differences can be identified

due to the outstanding temperature sensitivity of Testo ther-

mal imagers. Industrial thermography with Testo thermal im-

agers saves time, resources and money – for more security,

less damage and more efficiency.

Optimum image quality and innovative technology

Testo offers the right thermal imager for every application in

industrial thermography. With high-quality Germanium op-

tics and the best detector quality, Testo thermal imagers as-

sure optimum image quality for every application. With the

patent-pending SuperResolution technology, the geometric

resolution of each thermal image is improved by a factor of

1.6 – with four times more pixels. This means that extremely

high-resolution thermal images up to a megapixel quality of

1280 x 960 pixels can be achieved.

High-performance, intuitive and safe

The intuitive user-friendly operation and handling offer con-

fidence and flexibility for every situation. The high-perfor-

mance PC software IRSoft offers extensive functions for the

professional analysis of your thermal images: It allows so-

phisticated image analysis, with pre-made templates and

the ability to create customized templates for convenient re-

port creation. Testo TwinPix, offers image overlay capability

of visual camera and the thermal images. The information

contained within these two images can be presented as one

image on any report.

Thermography has proven its worth as a tool for preventive maintenance, in monitoring of mechanical and electri-

cal systems or production processes. In the field of research and development, Testo thermal imagers are also

used to examine microelectronic components.

Testo thermal imagers in industrial thermography.

Industrial thermography

1. Regular checks in electrical maintenance

Testo thermal imagers allow an evaluation of the heat status

of low, medium and high voltage systems. Thermographic

images lead to early recognition of defective components,

so that the required targeted preventive steps can be taken.

This minimizes the dangerous risk of fire and avoids costly

production downtimes.

2. Support in preventive mechanical maintenance

A reliable early recognition of threatening damage to

process-relevant system components is necessary in order

to create assurance to the security and reliability of the ma-

chine operations. A high level of heat emissions, especially

from mechanical components, could possibly indicate an

elevated level of stress. This could be caused, for example,

by friction due to faulty adjustment, component tolerances

or a lack of lubricant. Critical heating conditions can be di-

rectly detected with the alarm or isotherm function, and

counter-measures can be introduced.

5

3. Quick, easy fluid level checks

Level control in sealed fluid tanks has proven to be a useful

method for avoiding machine damage and production

losses. If, for example, the fluid in coolant tanks falls to a

dangerously low level, machines are no longer cooled cor-

rectly. They could potentialy run hot and may fail. Often, an

automatic level control regulates the level of the refrigerant

and issues an alarm when the fluid level is too low. How-

ever, the automatic control systems can also fail.

4. Safer high temperature measurements

In applications with high object temperatures the Testo ther-

mal imagers are adaptable to the requirements. With high

temperature options, the measuring range can be extended

to up to 2192 °F. The high-contrast image in the display can

be visualized using the high-temperature color display

palette Iron HT or the special histogram compensation.

5. Consistant reliability in quality assurance and pro-

duction monitoring

The thermal imagers from Testo provide precise situation

analysis for supporting process monitoring and product

quality assurance. In addition to foreign bodies in produc-

tion processes, anomalies in the heat distribution of compo-

nents are also recognized at a glance, quickly and without

contact.

6. Power applications

Energy is an important commodity in todays world, which

must always be available in sufficient quantity. For this rea-

son, power stations and utility companies ensure that no in-

terruptions occur, through energy production, transmission

even distribution. Testo thermal imagers provide support to

the preventive maintenance programs of the power industry.

7. Precise visualization of critical temperatures in

microelectronics

Electronic components are becoming smaller and smaller,

the demands on heat withdrawal are increasing. For opti-

mization purposes, an examination of temperature condi-

tions using a thermal imager is useful, and the analysis of

warming and cooling behavior over defined time intervals is

often required. Only high-quality thermal imagers with the

highest geo metric resolution and the possiblity of recording

fully radiometric video sequences are up to this job.

8. Quality control in the production of diecast plastic

components

In the development and production of diecast plastic com-

ponents, the Testo thermal imagers are used for the moni-

toring of the cooling process. If the diecast components

cool very irregularly, differing material densities occur within

the diecast components – leading to reduced stability and

performance concerns. The cooling process can be moni-

tored and documented using a Testo thermal imager. This

allows for the detection of potential problem areas to be

recognized during development, and addressed in

pre-production programs.

9. Monitoring and checking solar energy systems

There are two main reasons for examining solar energy sys-

tems: Safety and performance monitoring. Solar energy sys-

tems reach top performance in full sunshine. Large and

small photovoltaic systems can be monitored without con-

tact, from a distance, and especially efficiently using Testo

thermal imagers. If faults are identified, the smooth running

of all components could be increased then the highest level

of economic viability could be achieved. With the ability to

enter the suns irradiation intensity, an important measure-

ment parameter, additional data for long term performance

monitering can be recorded.

10. Analysis of electrical distribution systems

Because of its importance, downtime in electrical distribu-

tion systems need to be avoided at all costs. In particular,

defective connections in high-tension masts can be critical.

These transfer points, which can sometimes be a long dis-

tance away, can only be clearly recognized with a suffi-

ciently large high resolution detector and telephoto lens.

This can be one way to obtain the detail needed for onsite

analysis of the connector in question while still providing a

safe and effective work enviroment.

11. Inspection management in large manufacturing

The regular inspection of machines and electrical switch-

boxes in large manufacturing systems can be slow and very

resource consuming, but indispensable. During such in-

spection routes, the same key components objects often

have to be monitored everytime, resulting in many thermal

images of the same component. Keeping track of the im-

ages and the exact date and time of inspections could be a

difficult process itself. With Testo SiteRecognition technol-

ogy, measurement sites are automatically recognized by

reading a special barcode and the resulting thermal images

correctly stored and archived in a site or route based in-

spection database. Allowing for fast reporting and historical

data at you fingertips.

The SuperResolution technology.

Simply see more with one upgrade

With the SuperResolution technology, the image quality of

the Testo thermal imagers is improved by one resolution

class, i.e. by four times more pixels, and a geometric reso-

lution which is better by a factor of 1.6. For example, a 160

x 120 pixels imager is turned into a 320 x 240 imager, Also

A 640 x 480 pixels imager is turned into a 1280 x 960 pixels

imager. All this from a simple software upgrade available to

all current Testo thermal imagers.

The patent-pending innovation from Testo uses the natural

movement of your hand, and records several slightly offset

images very quickly one after the other. These are then

processed together to form one image using an algorithm.

The result: Four times more pixels and a considerably bet-

ter geometric resolution of the thermal image.

The SuperResolution technology provides extremely high-

resolution thermal images up to 1280 x 960 pixels These

high resolution, high detail images are considerably more

meaningful images for analysis.

High-resolution thermal images

Creation of the ideal thermograph is basically quite easy:

the better the image resolution (more pixels), the better the

detail a to create a vivid image of the object being meas-

ured. When inspection and safety conditions warrant

against close-up inspection, high resolution dectectors are

critical to insure image quality. The same principles apply

when you can not close the inspection distance because

the object is very small. When you have the need to identify

the finest structures, a high-resolution image quality is es-

sential. Because the more you can see in the thermal

image, the better the image analysis will be.

IRSoft – Precise analysis of thermal images

Infrared images can be conveniently processed and ana-

lyzed on a PC using the IRSoft. Extensive functions are

available for professional image analysis. For example, the

different emissivities of the various materials for image

areas can be corrected afterwards, right up to individual

pixels. The histogram function shows the temperature distri-

bution of an image area. Up to five profile lines can be used

to analyze temperature curves. In order to visualize critical

temperatures in an image, limit value violations, as well as

pixels, in a specific temperature range can be emphasized.

In addition to this, unlimited measurement points can be

set, hot/cold spots determined, and comments on the

analysis made.

IRSoft – all important information at a glance

Several infrared images can be opened and analyzed paral-

lel to each other. All analyses in the images are visible at a

glance and comparable to each other. Alterations to set-

tings can be carried out either for the whole infrared image

or for individual image sections. It is additionally possible to

transfer current image corrections to all opened infrared im-

ages with a mouse click.

With the IRSoft from Testo:

• you analyze thermal images quickly and precisely

• you can create your own professional thermography

report templates

• you can analyze and compare several images simul-

taneously

Easy creation of professional thermography reports

Infrared and real images are displayed in the screen already

during analysis, and automatically taken over into the re-

port. This makes easy and professional documentation of

the measurement results possible.

The report assistant guides step by step to a complete and

clear report. Different templates are available not only for

short and quick reports, but also for more comprehensive

documentation. The templates contain all relevant informa-

tion on measurement site, measurement task and examina-

tion results. In addition to this, the report designer can be

used to create your own customized templates for your

company or for specialized reporting requirements.

TwinPix – thermal and real images in one image.

Create the perfect result the first time with

Testo TwinPix

By setting marking points which correspond in both the

thermal and the real images, they can be combined and

overlaid exactly. Even scenes with measurement objects at

different distances can be blended without a problem, and

shown simultaneously in one image, at your direction.

The thermal imagers from Testo with integrated digital camera automatically store a thermal and a real image simultane-

ously. With our professional image overlay solution, TwinPix, these two images can be superimposed over each other in the

PC software IRSoft. The information from the thermal image and the real image are then displayed at your specific instruc-

tions to create one combined image, part thermal and part visual.

Show what’s important, with the professional image

overlay from Testo

During the analysis, the image overlay helps to provide

visual orientation in the image and in the exact frame of

reference of the inspection area.

Setting the custom transparency level regulates the inten-

sity of the infrared and the real image components in the

combined image. Critical temperature ranges can be

marked by inserting infrared limit values and the infrared

range. Even in the real image, problem areas can be directly

emphasized, and the temperature status of the measure-

ment object displayed plastically. The TwinPix image is not

just an overlay it combines both thermal and visual data

together creating a powerful reporting tool.
