FLIR GF306 Optical Gas Imaging Camera with 14.5° lens. 320 x 240

Model: GF306 | Order No: 44201-0101

Equipped with a 14.5° lens, this camera visualizes sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and other gas emissions without the need to shut down operations. The portable, non-contact infrared camera allows you to quickly scan substations for leaks while maintaining a safe distance from high-voltage equipment.

FLIR GF306 Offers

Stop leaks and maximize uptime

Features

  • Improve efficiency: Inspections are faster than traditional leak-detection tools, and capable of detecting SF6, anhydrous ammonia (NH3), and ethylene (C2H4)
  • Integrate with predictive maintenance: Accurately measures temperatures up to 932°F (500°C), making it a sound addition to your facility's predictive maintenance program
  • Save gas and revenue: Reduce revenue loss by detecting gas leaks efficiently, at a safe distance away from high-voltage areas

Visualize SF6 and many other gases

Invisible gases look like smoke through the lens of the camera, making even the smallest emissions easy to see. Unlike a traditional "sniffer", the camera allows you to survey large areas quickly and effectively and see into spaces that are difficult to reach with non-contact measurement tools. It is capable of detecting not only SF6, but several other gases including Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3), and Ethylene (C2H4).

The sensitivity to visualize even small leaks

With its superior resolution, thermal sensitivity, and the option of a High Sensitivity Mode (HSM), the infrared camera allows you to visualize leaks so you can pinpoint the exact source of the emissions and begin repairs immediately. In addition, it can accurately measure temperatures, allowing you to note temperature differentials and improve visual contrast for better gas plume detection.
