An infrared camera for every building job
May 16th 2007

The Flir Systems’ ThermaCAM B-Series thermal imaging cameras provide immediate, high-resolution documentation of as-built or post-restoration quality, post-casualty cause and origin data, plumbing and building envelope water leakage, water-damaged material assessment, energy efficiency, roof integrity and even rodent or pest discovery. Included in the range is a model to suit every job and every budget.

The cameras can image rooms, inspect areas that are difficult to access with moisture meters, discover damp behind tiled walls and wallpaper that does not readily water-stain, track leaks to their source and monitor the drying process. For this purpose they come complete with various application specific functions.

The range introduced a Dew Point Alarm that detects areas at risk from condensation. This is now complemented by the Relative Humidity Alarm that indicates areas of potential mould build-up. By changing the setting the operator can see, directly in the field and on a clear infrared image, the parts of the building that are susceptible, And this isn’t the only smart operation.

The new Insulation Alarm allows the operator to determine immediately whether or not a building is well insulated.All that is required is for a temperature measurement of the inside and outside faces of a wall to be taken and a critical surface temperature factor applied. The new feature will then calculate which areas are insulated and highlight them in an ‘alarm’ colour on the infrared image.
