FLIR G300a, G330pt and A6604 optical gas detection

FLIR Systems has introduced three thermal cameras for optical gas detection: the G300a, G300pt and A6604. The cameras are suitable for monitoring gas pipelines and installations from safe distances.

Each model contains a cooled indium antimonide (InSb) detector, which enhances the sensitivity of each camera to detect even the smallest gas emissions. The G300a and G300pt cameras have a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels, while the A6604 has a resolution of 640 × 512 pixels. Each camera can be controlled via ethernet, or integrated into any TCP/IP network. They are also GEV/Genicam compatible.

The G300a and A6604 cameras require an additional housing while the G300pt comes with its own housing mounted on a pan/tilt mechanism. The housing can rotate the camera 360° continuously and tilt ± 90°. It also enables users to monitor different areas with the same system. The G300pt is equipped with a long-range daylight/low-light camera, and the video output of the thermal and daylight/low-light cameras are simultaneously available. Users can monitor electrical substations or other equipment that is in the same field of view.

The three cameras detect the following gases: benzene, ethanol, ethylbenzene, heptane, hexane, isoprene, methanol, MEK, MIBK, octane, pentane, 1-pentene, toluene, xylene, butane, ethane, methane, propane, ethylene and propylene.
