Flash Infrared Thermography & NASA Technology Licensing Opportunities

Researchers at the NASA Johnson Space Center have developed and refined Flash Infrared Thermography as a means of Non Destructive Test Evaluation (NDE). NASA’s innovative technology offers three complementary contrast tools that provide characterization of flaws and anomalies in nonmetallic composite structures using flash infrared thermography. The method can detect smaller flaws, and provide quantitative and qualitative information about the shape, size, depth, and location of anomalies. NASA’s designed methods assist the operator in defining the boundaries of flaws. For industries interested in NDE of composite materials – this technology can be integrated with existing infrared thermography hardware systems.
Flash Infrared Thermography is a patented technology available for commercial technology licensing. For more information about Flash Infrared Thermography and other technology license opportunities, visit: http://technology.jsc.nasa.gov
