Infrared radiation is used by thermographic cameras to produce images, much like visible light is used by regular cameras to produce images. Infrared cameras are sensitive to wavelengths from roughly 1,000 nm to roughly 14,000 nm, as opposed to the visible light camera’s 400-700 nanometer range.
An instance of a thermographic camera used in firefighting is a thermal imaging camera, also referred to as a TIC. Firefighters can view hot spots through smoke, darkness, or heat-permeable barriers thanks to cameras that convert infrared radiation into visible light.
The Europe Thermal camera market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Teledyne FLIR introduces a portable thermal camera for usage in hot environments. The FLIR Cx5 is a new pocket-sized, portable thermal camera from Teledyne FLIR that is intended for use in hazardous situations to monitor conditions. The FLIR Cx5 has a tough, ATEX-compliant casing that enables users to securely watch over mechanical or electrical assets in hot working areas.
It is necessary to safeguard against ignition sources in potentially explosive situations, such as chemical or oil refineries. Because of this, ATEX regulations must be followed when using electronic equipment in these hot work conditions.
Product Regulations or comparable rules (such as UKEX and IECEx). Users may work confidently and safely thanks to the 160 x 120 pixel FLIR Cx5’s mounting in a tough housing. Surveyors working in dangerous areas need to be able to identify issues quickly so they can respond appropriately.
“The FLIR Cx5 is not only explosion-proof, but it’s also small and incredibly simple to use,” says the manufacturer. This enables maintenance specialists to swiftly detect hidden flaws, constantly have their camera on hand, and shorten diagnosis times.
The FLIR Cx5 camera is equipped with all the rugged qualities necessary to withstand the most demanding workday. The Germanium window with an anti-reflective coating and shock absorbers are used to protect the lens of the FLIR Cx5. The touchscreen-compatible, 3.5-inch color display has armored glass protection.
To access the data storage and charging port, a tough lanyard point can be removed in secure areas. The FLIR Cx5 is equipped with a FLIR Lepton® thermal imaging sensor and the company’s patented MSX (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology, which imprints visible scene details onto thermal images. This produces a clear thermal image that makes it possible for inspectors to find hidden issues right away.
