Abstract

Abstract Transportable equipment for on-site thermal nondestructive testing is described. The equipment is constructed from two separate units: a hand-held infrared line scanner and a remote unit containing all the necessary control devices. The sample surface is heated by manually scanning a line source over the surface and the resulting surface temperature rise is simultaneously measured with the line scanner. The heating line is generated either by a line-focused laser beam or by a radio frequency induction coil. The obtained surface temperature distribution of the monitored area is presented as a pseudo-color image. The feasibility of the method is demonstrated with a carbon-glass fiber composite sample.
