Thermographic measurement techniques

16.2.1.1.1

Method 1: Direct method

Follow this procedure:

1. Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection

angle (a = b).

Figure 16.1

1 = Reflection source

2. If the reflection source is a spot source, modify the source by obstructing it using a

piece if cardboard.
