Size Matters For Safe Thermal Inspection
For hazardous applications such as establishing the health of electrical components at a substation, the ability to measure temperature accurately over a distance is critical. Achieving this depends on several factors and two of the most important are the resolution of the detector and the chosen camera lens.
You can compare resolution to human eyesight. If you have 20/20 vision, you can define the smallest letters at the greatest distance and that’s the equivalent using an infrared camera with a high-resolution detector. (Read More)
Webinars Added To ITC Training Programme For 2019

Lighten the Load with Turck Banner Hazardous Area Lighting Products
In the not too distant past the LED lighting revolution was driven largely by the universal acceptance of the effects of global warming and the need to save energy. Significant cost savings were realised with LEDs which prompted further adoption.
Today, the benefits of LED lighting in standard applications are well known and in the world of hazardous area lighting such benefits are perhaps even more desirable. (Read More)
