Time Lapse Imaging
Time-lapse imaging techniques can be applied to visualise product changes during processing.
Intertek has technology available to capture a client's key process information by time-lapse photography. In time lapse mode, a series of images are captured at preset times (seconds or minutes apart) and then saved as a video clip for presentation. Individual images can also be analysed to give, for instance, particle size changes with time.
Clients work with Intertek's time-lapse capabilities to understand processes changes:
- Capturing the behaviour of a system that changes with time
- Capturing behaviour of a syste' from changes to temperature
- Visualisation of the process for suitable presention to your clients and colleagues
- Visualisation and usage of the images to obtain process rate information
- Using video rate imaging video clips of the process to show, for instance, the failure of a part under stress
Characteristics analysed by time-lapse imaging:
- Particle size changes
- Particle shape changes
- Change of position of particles
- Crystal habit changes
Associated technical issues:
- Fundamental understanding of process
- Powder flow changes
- Aggregation of particles
- Affect of shear on system
