By taking short working sessions with cooling off periods in between I manage to treat most of the front of the workshop. As that area was facing South I can vouch that it was ****** hot working there but the job needed doing.
That is also a view of my new bird feeding area. The birds were taking good advantage of the water avilable.
Today the air temperature peaked at 29.1C so I didn't spend much time outdoors. What I did do was to take some photos using the Seek Thermal camera which plugs in the iPhone. Here are some composite photos (screen shots to be exact) showing how various areas and items look to the human eye and what temperatures they have reached in full Sun.
I found it interesting to see which things / materials were hotter than others. Thermal colours range from black for the coolest areas of any photo, through blue, green, orange and red. White is for the hottest areas of each thermal photo.
The thermal imaging is impressive. Can it be calibrated to work in different ranges of temperature?
ReplyDeleteAdrian: The range is altered automatically in real time. For any area it is aimed at it will always display up the left hand side the lowest detected to the highest detected. It can be set to numerically show the temperature for each colour and those will change for each photo depending what it is aimed at. I've probably explained this poorly. It can even be set to show the spot temperature of whatever is at the centre of the screen.
DeleteI don't have a smart phone but I can easily borrow one. Next time I want to check brake or tyre temperatures I'll look into the matter. Probably not as accurate as a probe or the point and laser spot thingy but useful for a quick scan.
