Testo Thermal Imagers in Industrial Thermography

Thermography has proven its worth as a tool for preventive maintenance, in order to monitor mechanical and electrical systems or production processes. In the field of research and development, Testo thermal imagers are also used to examine microelectronic components.

1. Regular checks in electrical maintenance: Testo thermal imagers allow an evaluation of the heat status of low, medium and high voltage systems. Thermographic images lead to early recognition of defective components, so that the required targeted preventive steps can be taken. This minimizes the dangerous risk of fire and avoids costly production downtimes.

2. Support in preventive mechanical maintenance: A reliable early recognition of threatening damage to process-relevant system components is necessary in order to guarantee the security and reliability of the machines. A high level of heat emissions, especially from mechanical components, may indicate an elevated level of stress. This is caused, for example, by friction due to faulty adjustment, component tolerances or a lack of lubricant. With their high temperature resolution, Testo thermal imagers provide an exact diagnosis. Critical heating conditions can be directly detected with the alarm or isotherm function, and countermeasures can be introduced.

3. Quick, easy filling level checks: Level control in sealed fluid tanks has proved to be a useful method for avoiding machine damage and therefore production losses. If, for example, the fluid in coolant tanks falls to a dangerously low level, machines are no longer cooled correctly. They run hot and may fail. Often, an automatic level control regulates the level of the refrigerant and issues an alarm when the filling level is too low. However, the automatic control can also fail. In this case, a regular look through a thermal imager will also help.

4. More reliability in quality assurance and production monitoring: The thermal imagers from Testo ensure precise situation analysis, thus supporting process monitoring and product quality assurance. In addition to foreign bodies in production processes, anomalies in the heat distribution of components are also recognized at a glance, quickly and without contact.

5. Inspection management in large production systems: The regular inspection of machines and switchboxes in large production systems is time-consuming, but indispensable. During such inspection tours, similar measurement objects often have to be monitored, resulting in many thermal images of the same type. Previously, in order to be able to allocate the measurements clearly to the different measurement sites, complex lists needed to be kept, or a voice comment added to each individual thermal image. With Testo SiteRecognition technology, measurement sites are automatically recognized and the resulting thermal images correctly archived.

Detect CO reliably, identify malfunctions and avoid danger with CO Monitor

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is formed from the combination of a carbon atom with an oxygen atom. Not only flammable, it is also very hazardous since it is very toxic and odorless. It cannot sustain life and is produced, among other things, from incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen. It can therefore cause domestic accidents if heating systems are poorly maintained. It is produced on a large scale in industry, in combination with hydrogen, by reforming hydrocarbons, generally natural gas. It is used in large quantities to produce various intermediary organic chemicals, such as acetic acids, isocyanates, formic acid, and also certain polymers such as polycarbonates and polyketones.

The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) for carbon monoxide is 50 parts per million (ppm) parts of air (55 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m(3)) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration.

CO is the most common gas, which is detected for leakage, in all sorts of industries. Leakages from combustion devices like boilers, gas turbines, furnaces, heaters, incinerators, and from gas pipelines, and vessels, are detected using handheld, and fixed gas detection systems.

Testo 317-3 is one of the commonly used gas detectors in the industry. Its important to identify and stop a CO leakage at the earliest, and hence, fast and accurate detection of the leaked gas is of primary importance.  Testo 317-3 was developed to detect and measure CO gas absolutely reliably, and in case of danger to provide warning without delay.

The testo 317-3 is absolutely insensitive to temperature fluctuations as well as humidity, and identifies malfunctions on a burner quickly and securely. It reports just as reliably when dangerous CO concentrations form in pellet stores - optically as well as audibly. You can evaluate the danger quickly and precisely thanks to the ppm display.

Making your utility and maintenance tasks easier with sound level and RPM measuring instruments

Sound level measurement:

 You often need an instrument that can be used for monitoring sound level measurements in the areas of air conditioning or heating, on combustion plants or at workplaces. Machine or discotheque noise can also be evaluated quickly and precisely with testo sound level measuring instrument testo 815 or testo 816. This dB meter is the ideal instrument for the evaluation of sound level in everyday work. 

Using the Fast/slow button, the measurement time can be set from 1 s to 125 ms, in order to better evaluate the noise source. The frequency analysis can also be switched from characteristic curve A to C. The characteristic curve A corresponds to the sound pressure perception of the human ear, whereas characteristic curve C can also evaluate the low-frequency components of a sound. With the help of the optional calibrator, the measuring instrument can be recalibrated directly on site with the screwdriver provided. The wind protection cap included in delivery ensures correct measurement results when measuring outdoors and if required can protect the microphone from dirt and dust. The testo 816 also has an AC and DC output. Via the AC output, recorders or amplifiers can be connected directly to the instrument, and via the DC output, graphical recorders or data loggers can be used easily and directly on site.

RPM measurement:

For non-contact RPM measurement, with the testo 465, you can measure rpm easily without contact using only one hand. The measuring instrument is thus suitable for measurements on rotating parts such as ventilators and shafts. Simply attach a reflective marker (optional) to the measurement object, point the visible red beam of light at the reflective marker, and measure.

Whereas for non contact and mechanical RPM measurement, the rpm measuring instrument testo 470, which can be operated with one hand, offers an optimum combination of optical and mechanical rpm measurement. By simply attaching an adapter for a probe tip or a speed disc, the optical measurement becomes a mechanical one. This allows speeds and lengths to be measured additionally. 

The high light-intensity hand stroboscope testo 476 is used when it is necessary to make fast-moving objects appear in slow motion. The hand stroboscope-Pocket Strobe measures and tests rotation and vibration movements. It allows the measurement of very small objects, or in places which are not directly accessible – and it does this without interrupting the production process! The testo 476 is thus optimally suitable for rpm measurements and for the inspection of components moving at high frequencies. The testo 477 LED hand stroboscope too is used for high revolutions.

Exactly the right instrument for every application - Measurement Solutions for Pharma and Health

In terms of investment, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology have the second-largest growth potential after the transport and automotive industry. This is the result of a study by Ernst & Young. According to this study, China leads the ranking of investment countries, followed by India, the USA and Brazil. This places demand on measurement technology all too well.  The monitoring and documentation of climate data is prescribed. Pharmaceutical guidelines such as the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) form the basis for this, and place the emphasis on conformity, traceability and reliability.

Whether in laboratories, cleanrooms, storage, transport or the health sector: With Testo solutions you are always on the safe side!

Laboratories:

Secure laboratory results can only be achieved with outstanding products -whether for long-term or spot-check measurements, for measurement parameters such as temperature, humidity or pH value. The pH value is probably the parameter most often measured in aqueous solutions. This is why robust, precise measurement technology, as offered for example by the pH/temperature measuring  instruments from the testo 206 series is so important. The measurement data monitoring system testo Saveris monitors the climate in refrigerated rooms and deep-freezers as well as the room climate. It transfers the measured values automatically by wireless or Ethernet to the Saveris base station.

Production & cleanrooms:

The prerequisite for numerous pharmaceutical applications is a controlled production environment. Contamination must be avoided; the end product must be free of pollution by dust. Cleanrooms offer a clean, sterile environment and constant climatic conditions. Temperature, humidity, air volume flow and pressure cascades to the outside rooms can be precisely adjusted.

The multi-function measuring instrument testo 480 is the first choice for the installation and commissioning of ventilation systems for a cleanroom. It supports the standard-compliant adjustment of the systems and records all the relevant parameters in ambient air measurements.

In cleanroom areas, defined pressure differences between cleanroom zones ensure optimum conditions. Special pressure concepts guarantee the air stays pure and prevent cross-contamination. In order to maintain the hygiene conditions, the differential pressures must be continuously measured and regulated. The cleanroom-conform differential pressure transmitter testo 6383 in panel design is installed in the wall, so that its surface is flat. The stationary transmitter testo 6351 regulates and monitors the differential pressure. It additionally calculates the measurement parameters volume flow and flow velocity. In combination with the measurement data monitoring system testo Saveris, the measurement values are recorded, forwarded, centrally documented and compiled into clear reports. All fully automatically.

Storage & transport:

Many raw materials, intermediate and end products are temperature and humidity-sensitive. Their storage site may be neither too warm nor too cold, neither too dry nor too humid.

In order to eliminate the danger of damage to medicaments, you also adhere strictly to the prescribed temperatures for storage. The ambient conditions in the production and storage of medicaments, vaccines or blood products must be continuously monitored and documented. And in addition to this, increased productivity is only possible when you automate measurement data recording. testo Saveris was designed for exactly this purpose. When adjustable upper or lower limit values are exceeded, the system provides audible or optical alarms by SMS or e-mail.

Our data loggers such as the testo 175 T1 are as handy as they are user-friendly and reliable. They are the perfect companion for temperature, humidity and pressure monitoring, not only during transport.

Health Sector:

Whether in clinic laboratories, blood banks, in operating theaters or in hospital dispensaries: quality, safety and efficient processes are central requirements in the health sector. The continuous monitoring of ambient values and other measurement parameters is therefore of great significance for you as the person responsible for processes or quality. Multi-function measuring instruments such as the testo 435 keep a close eye on indoor air quality. The portable, universally applicable temperature measuring instrument testo 925 is similarly versatile. With the broad range of probes for process tests and spot-check measurements, for air, penetration and surface measurements, you monitor difficult-to-access sites as well as exhaust gases or ambient temperature.

testo 350 Emission Analyser in Details

On duty for a clean environment - Testo Emission Analyser

Worldwide energy consumption has doubled since 1970, and is forecast to triple by 2030. There are natural limitations to this growth. Fossil fuels are disappearing; the prices for their extraction and use are increasing. CO2, oxides or soot particles in exhaust gas pollute the environment, influence climate and endanger health. It is therefore essential that energy is produced more efficiently, thermal processes are optimized and emissions reduced. For you as an expert for large and small combustion systems, as an assessor for an official body or as a service technician, this opens up a broad spectrum of measuring, testing and monitoring jobs. The balance between the best possible operation of a system and the strict adherence to legal limit values can only be kept with the help of measurement technology.

Whether you wish to carry out spot-check or long-term measurements, you can determine the concentrations of O₂, CO, CO₂, NO, NO₂, SO₂ , HC or H₂S with high-performance flue gas analyzers from Testo. You can reliably solve any measurement task in emission testing or in the optimization of thermal processes. Measurement procedures stored in the instrument’s memory allow fast efficient measurements on site.

The production of base materials such as steel, cement, glass or chemicals is energy-intensive. Most plants work around the clock. Energy consumption is therefore a decisive cost factor, and relevant to your competitiveness. At the same time, ever tighter pollution control board norms demand the reduction of the pollutant emission. For this reason, you invest in a flue gas analyser. It gives two pronged benefits: 1. It helps to optimally adjust combustion systems – be it a boiler, furnace, turbine or an incinerator. Optimizing combustion efficiency implies near complete combustion of fuel and thereby reducing fuel consumption and cutting fuel bills as well. 2. It monitors hazardous emission limit values and helps to comply with pollution control board norms.

Thus, protecting resources, reducing emissions and maintaining sustainability..!

An interesting video demonstrating testo cooking oil tester's use...

Is the quality of your cooking oil under check? Cooking oil tester testo 270 not only ensures quality but also saves costs.

Regular monitoring of cooking oil is highly essential.  The polar components (TPM – Total Polar Materials) provide information on the age and quality of the oil. If it is aged, it shows an increased TPM value. As a result, qualitatively inferior deep-fried goods are produced, and can additionally contain health-damaging substances. Between 14 and 22 percent TPM, cooking oil develops its best potential. Checking the TPM value, for example using the cooking oil tester testo 270, therefore not only fulfils these safety & health requirements, but also allows you to profit from the optimum lifetime of the oil.

The Challenge

Regularly monitoring cooking oil and using it in optimum quality can be a great challenge for many businesses. The time factor plays a crucial role in this. Regularly checking cooking oil quality during ongoing operations, breaking through the strict work routine in order to carry out the measurement, explaining the handling of the measuring instrument to the staff, and in spite of all this still working hygienically according to the HACCP guidelines, is no easy matter. It is essential that the measurement is carried out efficiently, e.g. by having the instrument immediately ready for use at any time. Apart from this, every member of staff must be able to carry out the measurement without previous knowledge and intensive training. Nor can compromises ever be made in matters of hygiene. The measuring instrument must therefore be easy to clean. It goes without saying, that in the hectic day-to-day business in a kitchen, an instrument can become damaged, and therefore needs to be very robust.

The Solution

Measurements with the testo 270 follow a simple principle: Switch on, simply immerse in hot oil, measure, finished! The tester is ready for use immediately after switching on, and operable with only three self-explanatory buttons. The limit values for the TPM value can be defined by the user according to individual quality requirements. The Auto-Hold function is very useful as it shows when the measurement value is stable. The TPM content of the analyzed oil is now displayed twice. On the one hand as a percentage in the extremely easily legible backlit display. And on the other hand, an alarm bar display shows the quality of the oil in colour according to the traffic-light principle. The staff can now see the quality of the oil at a glance, and can react accordingly if a replacement is due. After the measurement of the oil, the "TopSafe“ protective cover is simply removed and cleaned in a dishwasher. The oil can be removed from the breakproof, embedded sensor under running water using a mild detergent.

The Benefits

The highly accurate testo 270 cooking oil measuring instrument guarantees that the oil and the foods prepared in it are of the highest quality. Regular measurement prevents the oil from being replaced too early or too late. This additionally saves costs. In sum, the measurement accuracy, easy handling and robust design result in the true benefit for the customer: efficient measurement, economic use of resources and the assurance of product quality. All these factors make the testo 270 an indispensible helper wherever deep-fried goods are produced with care, and where checks still need to be carried out as quickly and as easily as possible.

Shifting Gears Smoothly…from Design to Market with Testo Measurement Solutions for Automotive Industry

Out of tradition, with modern technology: Testo offers precise measurement technology for various applications in automotive industry.

Research & Development

In many applications in research and development, the measurement of temperature and temperature curves is essential. Because unfavorable temperature developments, e. g. on electronic components, can reduce the quality of the product. The use of a thermal imager, which presents the infrared radiation of the measurement as an image, allows the reliable measurement of surface temperature, even on the smallest objects in the micrometre range. Thermal imagers thus already support the maintenance of the quality and specifications of the final product at the development stage.

On the long path from the idea to the product, the risk of inconclusive test series must be minimized in the interests of economic viability. However, it is possible to guarantee constant parameters as a prerequisite for successful research and development. Precise Testo measurement technology supports you reliably when you are recreating corrosive environmental influences in a laboratory, simulating loads on an engine test bench or testing integrated circuits elsewhere. The optimization of the heat flow in assemblies and components is a central topic in product development. With the thermal imager testo 890, you not only measure surface temperature, you also record thermal processes exactly in real time. The data of the thermographic video recording can be stopped and analyzed at any point: at any moment, all temperature measurement points per pixel are available.

Project Planning

With Testo measurement technology, you develop innovative and energy-saving solutions for all areas of industry. For the purposes of lowering costs in production and in the final product, industry is reliant on resource-efficient processes, on machines whose mechanical, electric or pneumatic drives consume as little energy as possible. The expression used is “green automation”. This includes grippers made of lightweight materials or pneumatic systems with low compressed air consumption, or even intelligent control and ventilation systems.

Compressed air is generated internally and distributed without knowing how much is consumed in total and in individual areas. Without this knowledge, however, there is no motivation to repair leaks or to aim for more economical consumption. An expensive error. Independent research has shown that up to 40 % of compressed air produced is wasted. In an average industrial company, this waste adds up to several thousand rupees per year.

The compressed air flow meter testo 6441 serves to record, monitor, control and document the compressed air consumption, thus ensuring transparency. This increases the motivation of those responsible for the process to undertake cost reduction measures and to save energy.

Production & Quality Assurance

In the end, only quality counts. With Testo measurement technology, you achieve this safely and efficiently. You manufacture goods with a consistently high standard of technology, and invest in the most modern equipment. You are reliant on permanent system availability and process security. One of the most important prerequisites for this is the monitoring of all parameters which influence quality, such as temperature and humidity, but also flow velocity, pressure or gas concentration. Testo offers you absolutely reliable measurement systems with which you can consistently monitor and regulate the production climate and the optimum adjustment of your systems. You increase product quality and reduce energy consumption.

Paint Shop

Quality of the automobile is first based on its look. The look in-turn is based on the quality of paint. While the quality of painting is based on the air supplied for spraying. This air is to be pure dry and hence measurement of Dew-point becomes essential. Dew point transmitter testo 6740 checks for the dryness of compressed air in the painting lines and prevents glewing of material.

Maintenance

Large automotive manufacturers demands from machine suppliers guaranteed statements on the maintenance costs and the system availability to be expected. Downtimes cost hugely, not to mention production losses. Testo measurement technology for industrial thermography simplifies the monitoring of critical areas which threaten to disable operation. With a temperature resolution of < 30 mK, the thermalimager testo 885 makes even the smallest difference visible, its 30° lens records the heat distribution in large image sections. You thus prevent malfunctions and fire risks, and never have to wonder whether, behind the deceptive calm, the system might not just be going out of control.
