The Use of Thermovision for Leak Detection in the Automotive Sector

Increasing requirements for environmental protection, safety or reliability force automotive industries to use more efficient tests to measure tightness of the components. Currently adapted methods brings limitations which makes automotive industry open for new techniques for leakage tests. Infrared cameras are widely used in various fields. Using them to test leakage of closed-volume systems allows to significantly reduce test time, especially for objects which requires long stabilization times in competitive methods. In the article thermovision usage for leakage detection of gas springs were described.
