Ther­mo­graphy in Chem­ical Industry

Epoxy resin systems are mostly used as a matrix material in fibre composites. In a variety of manufacturing processes, the corresponding resin system is processed in a flowable state. The material only acquires its rigidity in a subsequent curing process. This is characterized by an exothermic chemical reaction with a pronounced temperature dependence.

Hot industrial processes must always be well shielded to prevent energy loss and protect neighbouring equipment and employees. Thermography helps to identify weak points in insulation and provides initial indications of necessary repairs.

In the chemical industry, thermography is used for the inspection of plants, the monitoring of processes and the early detection of overheating. Sauer Engineering offers infrared measurements with infrared cameras from InfraTec.

Contactless measurement of temperature distributions and profiles with industrial thermographic cameras permits efficient monitoring and control of temperature-dependent processes and procedures within a system-integrated quality assurance programme in industry.

Check the microstructures of sheet metal parts during the stamping process and establish a uniform high strength and quality of all produced stampings safely and with a contact-free method.

Using pulse thermography, WELD-CHECK enables you a quantitative assessment of the inspected welds.

Effectively secure your goods and appliances by integrating thermography into an automated early fire detection solution. InfraTec´s FIRE-SCAN enables capturing of critical temperature indoor and on open-air grounds at an early stage and is optimised for early fire detection.

Calibrated measuring cameras offer the option of a completely automated site surveillance by utilising temperature alarms – an approach well beyond the simple and susceptible motion detection systems used elsewhere. With IROD InfraTec offers a scaleable, powerful system solution.

The IR Substation Monitoring System GRID-DETECT uses infrared technology to monitor the temperature of substation components to secure the reliability of substation. 

Safety in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

For the use in the different Ex-zones, InfraTec equips its infrared cameras and pan/tilt systems with protective housings that meet the strict requirements of the ATEX directive.

Reliable Even in Demanding Environments

All-weather-proof and robust metal housings protect InfraTec thermographic cameras from heavy use. They enable use in harsh environments, in dust, spray water and explosion hazards.

Ultra-fast Data Transfer
High-resolution detectors and high frame rates generate large amounts of data. With the 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface, this data can be transferred quickly, reliably and without loss.

Wireless Measurement – Independent and Convenient

The functions of the stationary camera systems can be controlled via the integrated web interface using a smartphone or software, as well as via an additional tablet attached to the housing.

Measurement of High Temperatures & Spectral Ranges

Up to two individually combinable wheels equipped with filters and apertures allow the camera sensitivity to be adjusted to the specific requirements of demanding measurement tasks.

The multispectral feature makes it possible to record sequences with constantly changing spectral filters. Images are recorded synchronously with a rapidly rotating filter wheel equipped with the filters. It may be possible to switch between up to seven filters, depending on the version. Due to this the multispectral measurement can be optimised to suit the measuring task if the preset ranges are unsuitable. The integration times can be adapted within the limits calibrated for this filter.

The Auto Calibration option expands the HighSense function to include automatic, dynamic adaptation of the integration time. This ensures the utmost temperature measuring accuracy and an optimised signal-to-noise ratio throughout the process. The wellfill of a detector is usually optimal in certain areas of the dynamic range. If the measured object signal is outside theses or user-specified limits, the integration time is readjusted.
