How Thermography can be a Valuable Tool to Papermakers, PaperCon2017

Thermal cameras come in different wave lengths and each are unique in their use.  Short wave thermal cameras are cooled technology and are great in trying to isolate a marking issue on the paper machine or coater.  They are of no use in the forming section because they cannot see through fog or steam at all.  Long wave thermal cameras are uncooled technology and are most commonly used on the paper machine.  Higher resolution cameras cost more, but are preferred for paper web images.  The two thermal cameras that I use are the Flir T-640 for images and the Flir i-7 for collecting equipment temperatures.  Separate software may need to be purchased to analyze the images taken with the thermal camera.  The thermal cameras that I use are shown below.
