Elements of thermography for nondestructive testing

Julius Cohen

Abstract

This paper presents an elementary review of thermal imaging systems, with emphasis on the application of thermography to non- destructive testing.Topics discussed include heat radiation theory; early and contemporary thermal imaging systems; performance charac- teristics; effects of emissivity, background temperature, atmosphere, and field of view.Examples of various applications of thermography to nondestructive testing are given.A bibliography is included.
