Vessel monitoring system uses thermal cameras

摘要

The Critical Vessel Monitoring System from Land Instruments International Ltd., a unit of AMETEK Inc., uses industrial-strength thermal-imaging cameras to provide higher measurement density than traditional systems based on thermocouples. The system measures surface temperature once every 16 cm~2, as compared with one measurement every 250 cm~2 in thermocouple systems. Each camera records over 110,000 individual measurements, ensuring that even the smallest degradation can be detected.
