Application of US FLIR i60 Thermal Imager in Earthquake Disaster Relief

US FLIR i60 Infrared Thermal Imager

The FLIR i60 is a compact professional thermal imaging camera with 2.3 million pixels and scalable picture-in-picture functionality for professional analysis. The new FLIR MeterLink technology, wireless Bluetooth connectivity to Extech instruments, copying to USB and Bluetooth voice annotations all make the FLIR i60 an easy tool for you. Lithium-ion batteries can work continuously for 5 hours. The unique built-in LED lighting makes it possible to work in a dark environment. With the support of FLIR QuickReportTM software, you can analyze the infrared images and visible light images captured in the field after returning to the office.

FLIR i60 has the following applications in earthquake relief:

1. Early warning and monitoring of dangers of dams, lakes, and dams

The FLIR i60 thermal imaging camera can monitor weather conditions of reservoir dams, monitor leakage points, monitor cracking and landslides, and monitor the size of water flow. Whether it is day or night, whether it is rainy or foggy days or sunny, the thermal imager can be very Clearly see the leakage of water flowing out, because the water temperature is lower than the ambient temperature, while the water emissivity and the emissivity of the surrounding objects are different, so even if the same temperature can distinguish the water. The visible light camera can not see the situation of the dam at night, but can not distinguish the water flow. Even during the daytime, the effect of visible light is not as good as the monitoring effect of the infrared thermal imager.

2, prevention of landslides, observation distance further

The FLIR i60 infrared camera can monitor long-distance infrared thermal imagers to monitor whether highways within a few tens of kilometers are unimpeded, blocked by landslides, and whether there is a traffic accident or the like. If problems are found, they can be notified as soon as possible.

3 , found accused persons

The FLIR i60 thermal imaging camera can easily find trapped people and accidents that fall into deep ditch cliffs within a few kilometers. It is especially noticeable in bad weather (such as night and fog).

4 , real-time monitoring of water

The FLIR i60 thermal imaging camera can monitor river flow in the river all day to confirm the upstream water regime.

5 , FLIR i60 infrared thermal imager can monitor water leakage, power transmission lines, substation power equipment.

6 , FLIR i60 infrared thermal imager can detect the tent's leak tightness.

7, FLIR i60 infrared thermal imager can detect food, medicine.

8. The FLIR i60 thermal imaging camera accurately inspects the affected people's injured parts.

9, FLIR i60 infrared cameras at night to monitor the security of the affected areas.

10, FLIR i60 infrared thermal imager can be applied to the detection of damaged and dangerous buildings after the earthquake

The thermal imager can give a larger assessment in the building structure and assessment of dangerous buildings: First, the damage to the structural components, especially the internal damage that can not be directly observed can be monitored: the second is the internal and external decoration of the building Monitoring of empty drums (mainly external bricks ) is conducted to prevent accidents involving shedding injuries.
