Liquid Crystal Thermography Demo Shows How to do Thermal Analysis

We’ve reported on ATS’s Liquid Crystal Thermography before and since our coverage, many other media outlets have covered it as well.   And for good reason, liquid crystal thermography can be very helpful in determining a device or other surface temperature where other methods may fail.  There are other advantages as well:

• Provides a quick visual qualitative observation of the surface temperature profile
• Can be calibrated with a digital colour camera and isothermal surface control to provide accurate quantative temperature fields to
+/-­‐ 0.1C
• Typically operate between -­‐30C to 120C with bandwidths of 0.1C to 30C
• A High spatial resolution of around 1 micron, depends on camera opticcs
• Provides both transient and steady state surface temperature profiles
• A Fast time response of around 100ms
• Thermometry uses visible light and is independent of surface emissivity
• Relatively cheap technique: camera, recorder, lighting, etc…

  1. Hi yes it is great article on thermography and we also know one company call elion which offer consultancy for thermography
    You may visit them for thermography survey at http://elion.co.in/thermography.html
