Test Talk: FAQs

From experienced thermographers to technicians new to thermal imaging, the FLIR iXX series was designed to simplify every step of the inspection process, helping users capture the right data, share it instantly, and turn it into actionable insights.

When it comes to flue gas analysis, one name consistently stands out: Testo. After decades in business, Testo remains a market leader across domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Acoustic imaging is quickly becoming one of the most exciting innovations in the test and measurement industry. By transforming sound into visual data, engineers can now detect issues that were previously invisible. 

Seeing sound gives you the ability to detect compressed air leaks to partial discharge, and much more. But for many, this technology remains a mystery.

In our recent episode of Talks with Test Meter, we’re joined once again by FLIR’s Jason Cargill alongside Test Meter’s Chris Fox. Together, they explore what acoustic imaging is, how it works, and the range of applications it offers across various fields.

Whether it’s helping facilities teams save on energy costs, improving predictive maintenance strategies, or giving engineers a new tool for leak and fault detection, acoustic imaging is already proving to be a game-changer.

Why Acoustic Imaging Matters:
• Identify

Every year, businesses lose billions to unexpected downtime, avoidable accidents and compliance violations.

The solar PV industry is evolving at lightning speed, and with installations scaling up across the UK, the demand for reliable, accurate, and future-ready test equipment has never been more important.

In light of several recent high-profile news stories, awareness around building compliance in the social housing and landlord sectors has never been more critical.

When it comes to thermal imaging, is it really worth investing in the premium range? In Episode 9 of Talks with Test Meter, we’re diving deep into that very question — and the answers might surprise you.

When looking to buy test equipment, understandably customers often assess their purchases through a very narrow lens – “What do I need? How much does it cost? When can I get it?” – and this can sometimes lead to unexpected costs down the road...

Since the launch of Acoustic Imaging back in 2019, I’ve been on countless onsite demos and trials searching for leaks on compressed air & gas systems to vacuum leaks, tightness testing, partial discharge and motor failure.

An age-old question we’re asked all too often, and so let’s look to see if we can find a definitive answer. I recently posed the same question across my social media channels.
