Fluke Ti25 Infrared Camera
From the minute you pickup the Fluke Ti25 you know that you are holding a quality Fluke instrument. Solid, firm, soft touch rubber with plenty of FLUKE yellow… all these things are immediately noticeable and the impression is lasting. At 1.2kg it is not the lightest “point and shoot” camera in it’s class, but the quality and robust feel does fill you with confidence. A positive audible chirp on start-up let’s you know that the camera is firing up just moments before the flash screen appears. The camera boots up surprisingly fast, although it takes a couple more seconds for the image to calibrate and stabilise before it is in a useful state. For a 160×120 detector, the image is surprisingly good, in fact unbelievably good. This might have something to do with the 3.6 inch 640×480 VGA LCD display. Obviously to get a native image from 160×120 up to 640×480 involves some kind of enhancement, and Fluke have done believably well. My immediate suspicion is whether it will look as good in a report or on the PC as it does on the camera, something I will need to wait to find out. The stated thermal sensitivity of 100mk also appears to be conservative. This is a very crisp image, that would by first impressions appear to be better the stated sensitivity.
How high will it go?
The Fluke Ti25 treats us to a nice broad temperature range of -20 to 350°C, and it is split across 2 ranges giving the primary range excellent thermal sensitivity. Unlike most brands, the ranges are not user selectable, but in fact automatic. I feel that this function actually requires some user training as many people I have met who use this unit, aren’t aware of how this works. From the behaviour of the unit, first range is -20 to 125°C. When looking at a target above 125°C the heat seeking cursor will indicate >125°C. In fact it will show this result for an inordinate amount of time before deciding to automatically shift to the next range, which is indicated by the unit displaying the “calibrating” indicator on screen. The confusing part about this is that the unit periodically calibrates under normal operation and it is not clear that this calibration is associated with a change in the temperature range. At this point most novice or impatient users will simply move on, assuming the camera is doing it’s normal calibration, unaware that the camera is seeking the next measurement range and would have possibly given them a higher measurement reading. Sounds confusing… it is. Also when you are continuously working on higher temperature targets utilising range 2, and you momentarily come across lower temperature targets the camera will automatically slip back to range 1. Each time it changes range it calibrates which involves several seconds of interruption. If you are never measuring over 125°C you won’t have a problem, but if you have to work in the >125°C range you will need to contend with this issue. Personally I find the automatic measurement range selection very frustrating.
How good is the measurement?
With a 23° FOV lens, the spatial resolution on this unit is a very usable 2.5 mrad. While the manufacturer does not quote a distance to spot ratio (or MFOV), my laboratory tests have it at approx 100:1. That means it can measure a 10mm target at 1 meter and therefore uses approx 4×4 pixels to obtain a measurement. For this resolution size, it is consistent with industry standards. Disappointingly no optional lenses are available with the Fluke Ti25. I am surmising, but the attitude at the time of this units inception was wide angle and telephoto lenses belonged in the realm of professional thermographers using much higher resolution equipment. They were also horrendously expensive, likely ruling them out as a viable accessory. Nowadays, optional lenses have become very affordable and useful accessory.
