GF306 detects sulphur hexafluoride gas
Flir's GF306 thermal imaging camera detects the gas sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and 20 other gases in long wave, including ethylene, propylene, acetic acid, ammonia and other VOCs.
The Flir GF306 can also visualise 20 other gases in long wave, including ethylene, propylene, acetic acid, ammonia and other VOCs that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The GF306 portable infrared camera can be used to detect sulphur hexafluoride
And it does so in real time, without any need for post processing.
This latest generation model is dual-use: it is fully radiometric so in addition to gas detection it can also be used for electrical and mechanical maintenance applications.
This adds considerable value to the camera and allows it to provide an even faster return on investment.
This latest addition to the range employs a cooled detector for greater sensitivity and can scan large areas rapidly, pinpoint leaks in real time and provide process verification.
It is ideal for monitoring plant that is difficult to reach.
Thousands of potential leak sites can be scanned per shift without the need to interrupt the process.
Above all, it is exceptionally safe, allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several metres away.
SF6 is a gas used in power generation as an insulator in circuit breakers and switchgear.
However, thanks to the range of gases detectable with this camera and its ability to capture radiometric data, the Flir GF306 has a wide application scope beyond the utility sector.
It is ideal for environmental monitoring and compliance and for preventive maintenance.
To enhance its flexibility, the Flir GF306 also has a built-in digital camera and GPS, features already proven by Flir's P-Series plant-maintenance cameras.
Exchangeable lenses also allow the camera to capture a complete scene or the smallest gas escape in detail.
In non-radiometric mode the camera provides video footage, whereby escaping gases appear as visible smoke.
This image is projected onto the camera's tiltable viewfinder or large LCD, allowing the user to see the fugitive gas emissions clearly.
This material can be recorded for easy archiving, documenting and e-mailing.
