Acoustic imaging and thermal imaging

Acoustic imaging and thermal imaging in Atyrau

Acoustic imaging and thermal imaging, when used with the right tools, allow trained personnel at industrial and manufacturing facilities to obtain a wealth of valuable data on equipment condition. Furthermore, thermal imaging and acoustic imaging help ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of any preventative maintenance schedule.

What is thermal imaging?

Thermal imaging cameras (or simply thermal imagers) are practical tools for monitoring the condition of machinery, electrical systems, and thermal insulation. The cameras work by detecting infrared (IR) radiation associated with the object being monitored. A thermal imaging camera consists of a lens, a thermal sensor, processing electronics, and a mechanical housing. These components work together to create a thermal image of the monitored area.

Before these cameras were available, IR thermometers were used, but they only showed temperatures in remote locations. Thermal imaging cameras can read the temperature of thousands of points simultaneously and process the data into a color image that's easy for the user to read.

What is acoustic imaging?

Acoustic thermal imaging cameras are designed as a convenient tool, similar to thermal imaging cameras but significantly different. While thermal imaging cameras interpret and visualize infrared radiation, acoustic thermal imaging cameras focus on ultrasound information.

For example, an 800x400 resolution acoustic imaging device is a lightweight imaging camera that is successfully used to identify machine faults much faster than traditional diagnostic tools. These cameras are equipped with specialized microphones that transmit data to internal processors for interpretation into a visual image. Furthermore, the installed microphones can record audible and ultrasonic noises and eliminate constant noise common in industrial environments.
