Advance Infrared Thermography

Overview:

Introduction:

Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses infrared imaging to detect and measure surface temperature distributions. IRT has a wide range of applications in preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, research and development, and quality assurance.
