Infrared Thermal Imaging Special Edition:Nat. Inst. Building Sciences, IR in Flat / Low Sloped Roofs

Feb. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- United Infrared's Gregory Stockton authors article: 'Using Infrared Thermography in Flat and Low-Sloped Roofing Systems' in special infrared thermal imaging edition of Journal of the National Institute of Building Sciences.

Gregory Stockton, president of United Infrared, Inc., points out how thermal imaging can be an extremely valuable tool in detecting moisture intrusion into low slope and flat slope roofing systems. Not only can it save valuable time, but also eliminate the unnecessary and expensive removal of portions of the roof which may be in good repair.

United Infrared, Inc., which normally provides hands-on training for professional thermographers, and doing so at various locations around the U.S., in classroom settings, sees their emerging presence in the press as a confidence booster for those who professionally scan buildings and animals for (infrared) thermal images. Specialized training for the use of infrared in roof scan work can be found on United Infrared's special website: http://www.RoofScanIR.com

United Infrared can be reached at: 888-722-6447; Call it or click on its website at http://www.UnitedInfrared.com . It boasts the largest membership organization in the world of certified and properly-trained thermographers.

Utilizing this technique and technology to promote its classes, United Infrared also has promoted its Conference, said to be the premiere international event in the world of thermography, the Thermal Imaging Conference 2014, held in Las Vegas, NV, June 2-5. Last minute signups and even walk-in registration is possible for those interested.(More info is available athttp://www.ThermalImagingConference.com . However, with all of the early interest, advance registration is highly encouraged.

United Infrared also uses videos extensively to publicize its network of thermographers, and the training courses available to infrared practitioners worldwide. "People like to watch videos--especially when you can get detailed help from them on how to do certain things, whether it be imaging for a house or a horse", says Gary Micheloni, company director of marketing."Who wouldn't prefer watching a short video to reading a long, boring technical owner's manual?"

Serving most major cities in North America, its thermal imagers provide thermal imaging scans for roofs, block walls, electric panels & gear, data centers, moisture intrusion into buildings, energy efficiency.

A separate group of thermographers provides technical assistance to the veterinarians and horses of the equine world, at http://www.equineir.com.

This past year, the company entered into agreements with roofing manufacturers and contractors to perform infrared roof imaging, either on-roof or from aerial platforms. "We are committed to providing various manufacturers' factory-certified contractors with access to accurate, standardized and timely infrared roof moisture surveys”, says Ben Hixson, Technical Director of RoofScanIR™. “Our team is looking forward to working with roofing consultants, contractors and manufacturers across North America” states Gregory Stockton, President of UIS.

United Infrared Services Inc., a nationwide provider of thermal imaging services, is well-known for its professional infrared thermographic services and has the largest network of certified infrared thermographers in the world. RoofScanIR™ is a service provided by UIS that uses thermographers, highly trained in infrared roof scanning, to detect and document moisture in roofing systems.For even more videos providing information and education on infrared thermal imaging, go to: https://www.YouTube.com/user/UnitedInfrared .
