FLIR Infrared cameras

The second generation of GF-Series infrared cameras, previously known as GasFindIR has been released.

The GF320 detects all types of greenhouse gas emissions, while the GF309 ‘sees clearly through flames’, making it suitable for high-temperature, industrial furnace inspections.

The GF320 is engineered to image volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including methane, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon monoxide and other gases. High resolution thermal and visible output allows operators to rapidly scan large, hard-to-reach or dangerous areas from a safe distance. Its improved high sensitivity mode and noise-reduction filter is a useful tool in detecting and tracing small quantities of gas leaks to their sources.

The GF309 is engineered for high-temperature furnace applications, with a flame filter that helps workers detect common and recurring problems with industrial furnaces, including the presence of coking, scaling or ash build-up.

Both cameras can capture high resolution thermal and visible images and thermal video for in-the-field playback, later analysis and documentation. Embedded GPS provides the exact coordinates to track facility non-compliance with environmental regulations, or to mimic the set-up of portable monitors stationed around the plant.

Additional features include embedded temperature measurement data, a flip-out, full-colour LCD and a high-resolution, tiltable viewfinder.
