樓宇勘察中所使用的紅外綫探測

科幻小說曾經出現過這麼樣的一種情節:擁有特異功能的未來戰士闖進敵方陣營,憑着其透視眼的觀察,精準地找到同袍作出營救。當然,現實世界中是絕不可能找到這麼的一個未來戰士,可以單憑肉眼,窺探物件的背面。但藉着科技的發展,所謂穿牆過壁的特異功能卻能透過科技器材做得到,在不同的領域中使用。在醫學上,利用X-光檢查骨絡的狀況;磁力共振觀察軟組織的生長;超聲波了解嬰孩於母體內的發展。而在建築工程及樓宇檢查上被廣泛使用的其中一項「特異功能」器材便是紅外綫探測器。現時於業界中使用這技術已是相當普遍,特別是樓宇維修的範疇。 亦正因為如此普及使用,部分業界從業員在進行樓宇勘察工作時,幾乎將紅外綫探測成為指定動作,特别是作外牆勘察 。人有我有,生怕沒有使用紅外綫探測器會被業主質疑其不夠專業。而事實上很多業主也確實認為紅外綫探測器是神級工具,可以將所有樓宇瑕疵如狐狸露出尾巴般展現出來,使之無所盾形。實情是否如此。究竟紅外綫探測是一項甚麽樣的東西呢? 任何物料均是由分子聚組而成, 而這些分子本身是有能量存在因而在分子層面中是會出現躍動的。在分子層面出現的轉動或震動均會發出紅外線能量,若因物料及其分子遇熱而提昇能量, 分子的移動會更加劇烈,而放出的紅外線亦會越強。我們便可籍着紅外綫探測器量度物質發放出來的能量並製成圖譜,分析出物體表面的溫度。 ...
