Composite materials are large used today in various industrial fields such as: aeronautics, military equipment, pipelines for oil transport; frequently must meet serious requirements about the quality. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the possibilities and limits of flaws detection and measurement in composite materials by infrared thermography. In a research contract developed in our university were designed and processed samples with artificial defects in composite materials: CFRP, GRFP and Dyneema. The main aim of experimental research was to assess size of flaws positioned at different depths related to the examination area. The samples were investigated by infrared thermography and then the results were verified by different ultrasonic methods.
