This camera allows quick scanning from a safe distance without interrupting electrical utility operations or shutting down industrial processes.
The FLIR G306 is an innovative Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera used to visualize sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), ammonia (NH₃), ethylene (C₂H₄), and other industrial gas leaks in various environments. SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that’s more than 23,000 times greater than C0₂ over a 100-year period. SF₆ is commonly used within the electric power industry as an insulator and quenching medium for gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers.
Featuring a rotating, color LCD touch screen, the G306 is ideal for detecting gas in complex systems including electric utility transmission facilities and industrial plants. Combined with FLIR Ignite™ software, the FLIR G306 allows you to easily upload images and videos to the cloud where you can edit, organize, store, and share data.
