"Thermography"...

We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermography", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release IR camera ensures safety in explosive environments from Hawk IR International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ex-CAM AF infra-red cameras can scan wide areas for autoignition temperatures to help pro-actively prevent explosive dust ignition". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release Condition monitoring cuts downtime from Schaeffler (UK): "CNES' Aquilla AE Pro acoustic emission monitoring system is a fixed system that is particularly effective at slow rotational speeds from 80 to 0.25rev/min".
 
In January 2008, we covered the news from Flir Systems - take a look at Acquisition combines infra-red camera makers which says: "Cedip Infrared Systems' infra-red camera operations will be integrated into the Thermography Division of Flir Systems and trade under the Flir brand name".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Cedip Infrared Systems, Near-infra-red camera broadens coverage, as well as Database and portal keep track of rotating assets from Deritend Group, and Thermal imaging camera passes the test from Flir Systems.
