New thermal imaging camera

The newly-purchased FLIR X6580sc thermal imaging camera is a professional-grade research instrument for recording dynamic processes with superb accuracy at up to 355 Hz in full-resolution and up to 4.7 kHz using the windowing option. The sensitivity of temperature measurement is as good as 0.018 °C. Excellent accuracy of contactless temperature measurement is provided down to the object size of 3 mm. This thermal imaging instrument offers above-standard measuring features for applications with fast movement and rapid thermal processes.

In the laboratories of COMTES FHT, it will find use in diverse applications:

• Monitoring temperature changes in fatigue testing
• Characterizing the conversion of plastic deformation into heat during dynamic testing
• Thermoelastic stress analysis of complex parts
• Verification of temperature field uniformity for various heating methods
