Re: Infrared Equipment
Chuck,

Let me guess - that's a radiant ceiling - right?

I'm kind of with Phillip on this, but not entirely.

I think it comes down to what you want to do with IR, what you are trained to do with IR, and what IR equipment you are using.

In my opinion, for HI work, the fancy ones are not needed, and the 'basic' ones are not quite there yet. I found that my infrared camera, which was not a fancy FLIR camera, served my clients and myself well for what I was looking at and for. I've used and tried out some of the fancier IR camera, and found that they required too much 'adjusting' to see what you were looking for. I liked my Infrared Solutions (bought by Fluke a year or two ago) performed very nicely with its automatic setup.

Would mine have worked for more specific scientific work? Of course not. But then, I was not doing specific scientific work, was I?
