Flow Analysis Using Thermal Imaging
Discover how thermography can be used to visualise and analyse flow behaviour based on thermal patterns – ideal for distinguishing between laminar and turbulent flows. In our online event, InfraTec will present infrared camera techniques and demonstrate how even minimal temperature differences below 15 mK can be captured without disturbing the flow.

See the Flow: Non-Contact Measurement with Thermography
Thermography enables the analysis of flows by visualising characteristically thermal signatures, which are caused by different heat transfer coefficients. Thus, direction and strength but especially the type of flow – turbulent or laminar – can be determined. Thermography as a non-contact, area-based and imaging temperature measurement method is perfectly suited to detect even the smallest flow-induced temperature gradients of less than 15 mK without influencing the flow behaviour itself.
In the online event "Flow Analysis Using Thermal Imaging" we will inform you about possible applications of thermography in the context of flow analysis.
