Infrared Thermal Imaging – Leak & Moisture Detection – Electrical Scans

Do you live in Auckland? An infrared thermal house scan is the lastest home inspection type that could reveal a whole new side of your home that you didn’t know existed!

After reading Aucklands biggest thermal imaging news website (findaleak.co.nz), you can quickly see what the benefits of an infrared scan inspection are. The question is, once you know what the IR camera can detect, would you buy a home without it?

New residents to NZ are the ones who usually get caught out, because they arrive here and don’t realise there is a major issue going on with buildings built in the ‘leaky home era’. A building inspection company who does not do moisture testing or infrared scanning of homes could potentially miss obvious  signs of leaks… and that’s a problem.  Why don’t people get infrared scans in addition to a building inspector?

Simple… they don’t want to spend too much money on proper research because the house is already going to cost them enough money. Hah? Sorry, but that is a crazy way of thinking. If you are reading this message and are about to buy a house in Auckland, you should seriously consider taking a look at the website mentioned above to see the real benefits of an infrared thermal scan.

Infrared thermal imaging applications vary, depending on what feild you choose to specialise in. The most exciting part about having so many different applications and uses for a thermal imaging camera, is that you can test all kinds of hot spots and problems across all kinds of industries.

Here’s some of the most popular applications for Infrared thermal cameras in New Zealand…

Home infrared imaging scans, Infrared leaky building testing, Infrared thermal leak detection, Home inspections for heat loss and energy testing, Infrared moisture detection, Detect signs of leaky buildings, Thermographic infrared electrical survey companies, General leak detection applications.

You can even use thermal imaging on horses! (equine thermography).

There are so many ideas and applications to use a thermal infrared camera for… everything around you emits heat, and an IR camera can really be effective to detect the slightest of temperature change.

Maybe you have a conveyor belt in your commercial building? One of the popular applications for infrared inspections is detecting overheating bearings in motors if they aren’t lubricated correctly… this is a very effective way to detect problems in advance.

The sky is the limit with many different applications for thermal imaging… literally! You have most likely seen infrared from the bottom of helicopters chasing stolen cars or people? They use infrared imaging for just about everything these days… breast thermography… monitoring volcanoes etc etc.

What a great tool! Here’s a photo of a liquid leak into a river as seen from above.

Infrared thermal imaging training courses New Zealand… Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, NZ Wide.

Are you considering using a thermal imaging camera in your business, job or a business opportunity? The science behind thermal imaging is very interesting, and once you know how a thermal imaging camera works, then you’ll quickly see there are many different ways to use them.

The thermal imaging courses in NZ usually will teach level 1 and level 2. The bulk of the courses are based on the theory of how the infrared camera works, and what it’s actually detecting (Heat radiation).  There is more to the thermography business than initially meets the eye… it’s not just a matter of picking up the camera then ‘going for it’, you need to be able to interpret the images so the client gets what they are paying for!

You also need to way up what the cost of a thermal imaging camera is based on the application you need it for. For example, thermal imaging cameras on the bottom of a helicopter are going to cost more than a camera needed to detect electrical faults in switchboard.

Are you interested to see different thermal imaging images?

A thermal imaging camera has various applications which it can be used for, and there are a variety of different quality thermal images available online, depending on the thermal sensivity of the camera, in conjunction with the experience of the thermographer.

Different types of thermal imaging include:

Infrared images of leak – Here’s a great website with different thermal photos

Electrical thermal imaging thermographic surveys

Equine thermal images (Horse thermal imaging)

Mechanical thermography

and many many more!

Thermal imaging images can be highly detailed and reveal all kinds of hidden issues that you simply can’t see. Take a good look at the thermal imaging website mentioned above for further ideas about how thermal imaging cameras work.
