Active thermography inspection consist in using a heat source which will diffuse a thermal wave that will go through the object to inspect in order to interact with any present discontinuity.

The thermal impulse is disturbed by each interface and is captured at the surface of the part by the infrared camera. The image is then sent in real time on a reading screen allowing to run the expertise by a qualified inspector “infrared testing level 2” (IRT) according to specification.

The IRT Method for each part is validated by an inspector level 3.
