If thermography inspections detect heat, surely the weather will influence the inspection too?
This is quite true, although the answer can be as complex as the environment. Since the Sun is the prime cause of weather, differential heating upon the Earth’s surfaces will directly influence solar loading on those areas being surveyed. The amount of this heating varies a large amount depending on the angle of the surface, the colour of the surface, and the shading and reflection from adjacent surfaces. The differences in solar loading directly influences surface air pressures and hence size, shape, and orientation of winds, in addition to precipitation quantities. These varied meteorology effects close to the intended target and factors including severity criteria guidelines, including direct or indirect measurement, equipment type and load, and the severity of the environmental parameters all influence the thermographers evaluation of the potential problems that can be encountered. Such is our commitment and flexibility that even at short notice we can tailor infrared operations to
