Abstract:
A method for the non-destructive testing of the heating of a part made from polymer material, the method comprising the following steps: a) carrying out a measurement by infrared spectroscopy on a part to be tested and extracting therefrom at least one of absorbance values and transmittance values according to a spatial frequency; and b) from the measurement of at least one of absorbance and transmittance, determining the period of time during which said region of the part to be tested has been subjected to a given heating temperature and determining said heating temperature, using a reference database comprising at least one of absorbance measurements and transmittance measurements, the measurements established over a plurality of reference samples made from polymer material that have been subjected to a given temperature during a given period of time.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n from at least one of the absorbance measurement and the transmittance measurement, identifying a second peak for the part to be tested, an amplitude of which is independent of the state of oxidation of the polymer of said region of the part to be tested, and determining an amplitude value of the second peak, calculating a ratio R of the amplitude value of the first peak obtained on the part to be tested to the amplitude value of the second peak obtained on the part to be tested, performing step c) by comparing said ratio obtained for said region of the part with reference ratios R i,j  for said reference samples and contained in the reference database, each reference ratio R i,j  for a given sample being calculated by dividing an amplitude value of a first reference peak by an amplitude value of a second reference peak, the amplitude of which is independent of the state of oxidation of the polymer of said sample.
