Thermal imaging cameras also known as infrared cameras are devices used to capture the heat given off by an object or a person. They are similar to the conventional cameras but in this case, they only use infrared radiation to create instant images. An infrared camera also measures and displays the thermal profile of objects [...]

Thermal imaging cameras are being used in so many different applications today. This state-of-the-art working instrument has proven to be an invaluable innovation. Thermal cameras or infrared cameras have helped building  contractors and inspectors, maintenance managers, commercial and residential building owners to avoid accidents that may have resulted from unseen anomalies. Again, users of these [...]

A multimeter is a device that is used to measure the AC or DC voltage, resistance and current in any electronics and electrical equipment. A multimeter combines a voltmeter, an ammeter and an ohmmeter in its functions. This device is used by electricians as well as non-electricians to diagnose electrical malfunctions on motors, switches, batteries, [...]

Roofs with low slope are particularly prone to moisture contamination. This is due to the lack of space under the roof which retards proper air flow and ventilation. Identifying moisture problems in roofs using some certain inspection techniques involves people on the roof making invasive intrusions or performing multiple inspections on the roof. This sometimes [...]

We have no control over the weather, but it is possible to keep records of its implications. Dataloggers are electronic devices designed for recording measurements of all types at set intervals over a period of time. Dataloggers are used to record a wide variety of energy and environmental measurements including temperature, relative humidity, AC/DC current [...]

Thermal imaging also known as infrared thermography is the process of using a thermal imager to detect infrared or heat radiation that is emitted by an object. Inspecting mechanical equipment with infrared thermography covers a wide variety of systems. From motors, rotating equipment, steam traps, refractory and tank levels inspections are often needed to detect [...]

Thermal imagers have always been used by the military until in recent years it was introduced in commercial and industrial applications. The technology has become very useful in the face of identifying hidden faults with electrical and mechanical problems. Issues with electrical connections, wiring or other system components are clearly highlighted as “hot spots” with [...]

Thermal imaging is a special type of photography that uses heat produced by objects and surfaces to create images. This process employs thermal cameras which enables you to see things that are invisible and hidden in dark environments. Unlike other methods used for diagnostics, thermal imaging works in environments without any ambient light. This type [...]

Climates that are high in humidity have a high amount of water vapour in the air. When the weather becomes hot in high humidity, it makes people feel very hot. This is because it causes the inability of moisture to evaporate from the skin. High humidity is also a potential for mold growth. These microscopic [...]

Indoor air quality can be improved simply by using air purifiers but the question often posed is; which one? There are many different technologies used in air purifiers, but they don’t all perform quite as well as might be wished. A main consideration when choosing what kind of air purifier would be best for a [...]
