Thermal cameras
This year we have increased our range of thermal cameras. We now offer thermal cameras for on-site professional use for inspection of installations or machines, and for security. Thermal cameras are improving and bettering the knowledge regarding the discipline of infrared measurement. Models are smaller, are easier to use and are more economical. The PCE-ITC 1 series are the new generation of thermal cameras. Their small design allows for complete portability. You don't need to be an expert to capture infrared images. The field of use of these thermal cameras is extensive. In addition to inspection and industrial maintenance, thermal cameras are a tool of interest for builders and architects. They also help investigators to determine infrared characteristics of various products and components. If you don't find the thermal cameras you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our products.

Measurement of infrared is a process of capturing an image to illustrate and make visible the heat radiation, or infrared light, emitted from an object and that is invisible to the human eye. This measurement does not require contact with the thermal device and the camera can record extremely quick events such as explosions or fires and the course of movements. With the help of infrared measurements images can be recorded to produce a schematic of temperature measurements of an entire area. Infrared images can illustrate the heat emitted by objects, machines, buildings, etc. Thanks to thermal imaging you can have an exact idea about the possible loss of infrared heat or determine heat sources. An essential factor of the thermogramme is the emission level of the object being investigated. To guarantee quality, thermal imaging is becoming more frequent such as installing insulation during the contraction of a building. This allows for external analysis of construction to locate problems without causing damage to the building itself. Our thermal cameras are suitable for all of these situations.

Another interesting area in which thermal cameras can be used is in the detection of people infected with SARS. Patients with fever are isolated from the rest and are examined to see if they have the virus. Asia, Europe and North America have used this method.

The PCE-TC 3 series thermal cameras  are especially good at detecting patients with fever. These infrared cameras can measure with precision within the body temperature range. This high level of accuracy is possible thanks to calibration by a black light emitter. Also in the field of medicine experiments are carried out with thermal cameras. With these cameras, inflammations and other anomalies can be detected by measuring the temperature of a particular area of the body to investigate and make them clearly visible to the doctor and patient.
