Thermal imaging cameras for optical gas imaging (OGI) and furnace inspections Detect gas leaks Protect the environment See through flames Increase safety

FLIR: The world leader in thermal imaging cameras FLIR is the world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and government applications. FLIR thermal imaging systems use state-of-the-art infrared imaging technology that detects infrared radiation - or heat. Based on detected temperature differences, thermal imaging cameras can create a crisp image. Advanced algorithms also make it possible to read correct temperature values from this image. We design and manu­acture all of the f critical technologies inside...

INFRARED: more than meets the eye Infrared - part of the electromagnetic spectrum Our eyes are detectors that are designed to detect visible light (or visible radiation). There are other forms of light (or radiation) that we cannot see. The human eye can only see a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. At one end of the spectrum we cannot see ultraviolet light, while at the other end our eyes cannot see infrared. Infrared radiation lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The primary source of infrared radiation is heat or thermal...

Why use thermal imaging cameras? Why would you choose a FLIR thermal imaging camera? There are other technologies available to help you find gases and measure temperatures in a non-contact mode. Gas sniffers and infrared thermometers for example. Gas sniffers versus thermal imaging cameras In a complex petrochemical facility there may be many thousands of potential leak paths. Some may be leaking but most will not. Conventional leak detection equipment such as a Volatile Organic Compound meters (or sniffers) mean that the operator must visit and test each potential leak site. Each item must...

Thermal imaging cameras for optical gas imaging (OGI) and seeing through flames A thermal imaging camera for optical gas imaging visualizes and pinpoints gas leaks without the need to shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by detecting gases at a safe distance, and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of environmentally harmful gases. Captured gas leak from production site. Many chemical compounds and gases are invisible to the naked eye. Yet many companies work intensively with these substances before, during and after their...

Thermal imaging cameras for OGI: • Give you a full image of the situation • Perform inspections when systems are under load • Find the problems before real problems occur • Save you valuable time and money • Identify and locate the problem • Tell you exactly what needs to be fixed • Increase the worker safety • Protects the environment • Are as easy to use as a camcorder or a digital camera • Measure temperatures • Store information Seeing through flames A wide variety of industries relies on furnaces and boilers for manufacturing processes. But furnace and boiler equipment is prone to...

FLIR GF-Series Ergonomically designed and full featured All FLIR GF-Series thermal imaging cameras are designed to be used several hours per day. They all contain a number of useful features that will help you to do your inspections more efficiently and to detect the smallest of gas leaks or thermal anomaly. High sensitivity The GF-Series allow you to see temperature differences as small as 0.015°C. Ideal for detecting the smallest anomalies in electrical or other industrial installations. Tiltable viewfinder The high-resolution viewfinder is tiltable and can be adapted to the individual...

FLIR GF309 Seeing through flames The FLIR GF309 is an IR camera for the high-temperature measurement of industrial furnaces, chemical heaters, and coalfired boilers, without the need to shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by measuring through flames at a safe distance, for all types of furnaces. A good knowledge of the furnace condition can avert failures and unscheduled shutdowns. Industrial furnaces, heaters, and boilers are found in the chemical, petrochemical, and utility industries. See through flames The GF309 is equipped with a special...

FLIR GF304 Optical gas imaging of refrigerant gases The FLIR GF304 is a gas imaging camera which was especially developed for the detection of refrigerant gases without the need to shut down the operation. Refrigerant gases are used worldwide in industrial refrigeration systems for production, storage and retailing of food. Refrigerant gas is also used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and automotive industries and in air conditioning systems. Keeping an industrial refrigeration system running is of great importance due to the value of the cooled goods. Furthermore, replacing or recharging...

FLIR GF306 Optical gas imaging especially of SF6 and ammonia The FLIR GF306 visualizes and pinpoints gas leaks of SF6 and ammonia, without the need to de-energize high-voltage equipment or shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by detecting emissions at a safe distance, and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of environmentally harmful gases. SF6 is used in the electric power industry as an insulator and quenching medium for gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers. Ammonia is produced in ammonia plants, and is used mainly for...
