Abstract: Infrared thermography has for many years been used as a standard and reliable method for non-destructive testing of various materials. The paper presents additional applications of the method – for monitoring combustion of different materials and tracking undesirable ignition of certain liquids, gases and coals. It also includes a quantitative analysis of flame temperatures during combustion of samples of different materials.

Keywords: infrared thermography, thermal image, combustion monitoring.
