Infrared thermography is a fast and effective non-destructive testing method, which has an increasing application in the field of Aeronautics, Astronautic, architecture and medical, et al. Most of the reports about the application of this technology are focus on the specimens of planar, pulse light is often used as the heat stimulation and a plane heat source is generated on the surface of the specimen by the using of a lampshade, however, this method is not suitable for the specimen of non-planar, such as the pipeline. Therefore, in this paper, according the NDT problem of a steel and composite pipeline specimen, ultrasonic and hot water are applied as the heat source respectively, and an IR camera is used to record the temperature varies of the surface of the specimen, defects are revealed by the thermal images sequence processing. Furthermore, the results of light pulse thermography are also shown as comparison, it is indicated that choose the right stimulation method, can get a more effective NDT results for the pipeline specimen.
The plume-smoke is one of the main infrared characteristic signal sources of the engine. In this paper, the infrared signal characteristic of a small test engine’s plume-smoke is studied. We conduct a quantitative observation of some specific points in the movement path of the plume-smoke by the MW and LW infrared thermal imager. Through the analysis of the smokeless and smoke infrared sequential images, we can get the infrared radiation and the transmission characteristics of the plume-smoke and their variation law with time. Experiments show that there exists a critical temperature of the plume-smoke; the radiation of background can increase when the temperature of the plume-smoke is higher than the critical temperature. On the contrary, the radiation of background decreases when the temperature of the plume-smoke is lower than the critical temperature. In this paper, the research provides a reference for further study on the infrared characteristic of the plume-smoke.
