The FLIR E8-XT Thermal Imaging Camera is a simple point-and-shoot thermal imager that has extremely high thermal resolution and excellent measurement capabilities. The thermal sensor has a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with a measurement range of -20˚C to 550˚C. Thermal sensitivity of 50mK means that temperature differences of just 0.05˚C can be depicted on screen.
It has a 3” colour LCD screen that can show thermal images in a number of different colour palettes. The lens has a field of view of 45˚ x 34˚ with fixed focus imaging and there are handy features such as centre spot measurement, min/max area readings, and Isotherm above/below alarms.
The integrated digital camera on the FLIR E8 not only takes visible images to save alongside thermographs, but also enables a range of useful display options. These include picture-in-picture, thermal blending, and FLIR’s patented MSX® thermal image enhancement that imposes details from a visible picture onto a thermal image for greater clarity.
Uses
- A popular use of these Thermal Cameras is to check for energy efficiency in the home. By looking at the thermal image of a home, you can see where heat is escaping and make the necessary changes to improve the home's energy efficiency. This can help you save money on your energy bills and make your home more comfortable.
- Detect electrical problems before they cause fires or other damage. This is particularly important in industrial settings where electrical equipment is often subject to heavy use and may be at risk of overheating or other failures.
- Monitor temperatures in different areas, such as factories or warehouses. This can help customers identify hotspots or areas that may be at risk of overheating, allowing them to take action to prevent damage or downtime.
- A thermal imaging survey of an underfloor heating system involves capturing thermal images of the floor with the heating system on to identify the location and route of the subsurface pipes by way of a temperature difference on the surface of the floor and so spots leaks without pulling up the entire floor.
- Thermal imagers are an increasingly popular, non-intrusive solution for finding pests and furry friends in walls, attics and other hidden places.
