The effectiveness of any application of
19、 infrared thermographic testing depends upon proper and correct usage of the method.

20、ldings and structures, electronic instruments and industrial materials.

24、ng personnelPersonnel who are responsible for conducting infrared thermographic testing (TT) shall meet the following criteria.a) TT personnel shall have an adequate knowledge of the basics of infrared measurement and heat-transfer engineering as required by ISO 9712.b) The TT personnels visual acui
25、ty and colour vision shall meet the requirements of ISO 9712.5 Infrared thermographic testing equipment5.1 Infrared cameraEach infrared camera has different properties and functions, such as the type of infrared detecting device, the spatial resolution (instantaneous field of view, effective pixels)
26、, temperature range, temperature resolution, temperature accuracy, frame time, exposure time, detection wavelength range, cooling method, scanning method, and the visible image display and recording function. It is necessary to ensure that an infrared camera with appropriate properties and functions
27、 with appropriate temperature calibration to meet the purpose of the testing is used.If necessary, various devices that can be attached to the infrared camera such as wavelength filters, attenuation filters, replacement lenses, monitors, computers and software for data collection and processing, and
28、 infrared-reflecting mirrors may be used.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10880:2017(E) ISO 2017 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 10880:2017ISO 10880:2017(E)5.2 Equipment used for active thermographySelect the appropriate heating or cooling system, taking into account the properties and functions of the infrar
29、ed camera, the test environment, and the status of the test object (dimensions, shape, emissivity, material, temperature before thermal loading, and so on.)NOTE For the heating system, a heating lamp, a flash lamp, an electric radiation heater, an induction coil, a contact-type heater, a hot-air dev
30、ice, a reflection board, a power-distribution device, or a vibrational apparatus can be used. For the cooling system, a sprinkler, an atomizer, or an air blower can be used.6 Test environment6.1 Installation environment for the test equipmentConduct the test in an environment where the temperature,
31、humidity, and atmosphere are appropriate for the test equipment, including the infrared camera.6.2 Avoidance of disturbanceIn order to avoid reflections from objects other than the test object or background (temperature of the ambient environment), increasing the objects emissivity may be necessary.
32、 This can be achieved with paint or any other type of adequate surface preparation and/or treatment as described in 7.1. Moreover, during the installation of the infrared camera, several positions may be tested in order to determine which one minimizes the effect of reflections.If the temperature of
33、 the test object is low, note that the proportion of the reflected apparent temperature to the total infrared radiation energy arriving at the infrared camera can be high.Take care of absorption, scattering, and reflection of infrared radiation energy by any substances that are present between the i
34、nfrared camera and the test object (for example, water vapour, carbon dioxide, or window materials).7 Test method7.1 Emissivity of test objectFor temperature measurements, the emissivity of the test object shall be taken into account. Set the emissivity value within the radiometric software or withi
35、n the camera as correctly as possible in order to match the apparent temperature with the true temperature 3 4.NOTE 1 If the emissivity of the surface of the test object is not uniform, the infrared radiation energy will not be uniform, even if the temperature of the surface of the test object is un
36、iform. If the emissivity is low, the effects of reflections and/or transmission become proportionately larger.NOTE 2 The emissivity of test object may vary with the material, the temperature, the roughness of the surface, the thickness of any oxidized membrane on the surface, the presence of impurit
37、ies on the surface, the angle, and wavelength range of the infrared camera.NOTE 3 If the emissivity of the test object is low or not uniform, a coating of matte black material can be applied thinly and uniformly until the surface of the base material is covered. Alternatively, a thin membrane of a m
38、aterial with a high emissivity can be attached to the surface to ensure that the emissivity is as uniform as possible during the test.NOTE 4 Other methods can also be used, such as roughening the surface of plastics (for example, with sandpaper) or oxidizing the surface of metals and so on.In the ra
39、diometric software, the ambient temperature shall also be considered.2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 10880:2017ISO 10880:2017(E)7.2 Passive thermography and active thermographyPassive thermography is a thermographic technique for inspecting objects or installations by measuring their emitted th
40、ermal radiation, without using any additional energy source for thermal stimulation. It is not necessary to induce an additional temperature change within the objects or installations for the purpose of the test.EXAMPLE Passive thermography can be used, for instance, for inspecting electrical instal
41、lations and mechanical components, in process. It can also be used, for instance, when natural thermal loading by solar radiation exists, such as for buildings and structures17 9, or when the presence of an anomaly or a defect results in the generation or absorption of heat, such as a defect in tran
42、smission or distribution equipment.Detecting anomalies by passive thermography has some physical limitations, which are often overcome by active thermography.Active thermography is a thermographic examination of materials and objects which requires additional thermal stimulation.NOTE The thermal sti
43、mulation can be optical, sonic (ultrasonic), inductive, microwave, or using any other form of energy.In active thermography, if a test is meant to detect conductive anomalies, then a uniform thermal loading is preferred. The intensity of the thermal load shall be properly adjusted in relation to the
44、 performance of the infrared camera, the thermal properties of the test object, such as the thermal diffusivity, and the position, shape, dimensions, and depth of an anomaly or defect.Care shall be taken not to damage the object under test, as a result of excessive thermal loading.7.3 Imaging method
45、7.3.1 GeneralSteps shall be taken to ensure that the apparatus to be used for the test is operating correctly, i.e. in accordance with the technical specifications, and its settings are appropriate to the object under test.7.3.2 Non-uniformity and infrared intensity value correctionBefore imaging is
46、 performed, it is necessary to enable the non-uniformity correction function of the infrared camera to correct for variations in the sensitivity of individual infrared detection elements. If any equipment, such as a wavelength filter, replacement lens, or infrared-reflecting mirror, is attached to t
47、he optical system, it is necessary to apply an appropriate correction to the infrared intensity value.7.3.3 Field of view and spatial resolutionOne of the limitations in the detection of anomalies is the spatial resolution on the object. The distance between the camera and the object shall be adapte
48、d so that the spatial resolution is at least equal to the size of the anomalies. Changing the lens, for one offering a better resolution, might be necessary.7.3.4 AngleAn angle of 45 or less between a line normal to the surface to be tested and the optical axis of the infrared camera is preferred. I
49、f this is not possible, an angle of 60 maximum is acceptable.NOTE If the angle exceeds 60, or for tests on the rear face of the object, a method involving an infrared-reflecting mirror can be used as described in 7.3.8.
