The FLIR GF306 uses Long Wave (LW) Infrared detector for greater sensitivity.
The FLIR GF306 is ideal for monitoring applications that are difficult to reach with contact measurements tools.
As a non-contact measurement device, the FLIR GF306 claims to be exceptionally safe allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several metres away.
For instance, a large amount of the equipment used in the distribution of high voltage electrical power uses Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) as an insulating gas.
This allows the equipment to be more compact and protected from the elements inside substations.
The FLIR GF306 is extremely sensitive to SF6 leaks - a greenhouse gas that is 24,000 times more dangerous to the environment than Carbon Dioxide.
Petrochemical plants make hydrocarbon substances using base feedstocks from their oil refining processes either by conversion processes or further separation that is not normally carried out at an oil refinery.
Leakages of many of the volatile chemicals used or made in these plants can be readily visualised using the FLIR GF306 gas detection camera thereby protecting the environment, reducing lost product and eliminating potentially flammable emissions.
In the Chemical industry the FLIR GF306 is widely used to monitor batch and continuous processes that involve inorganic or organic (non-hydrocarbon) gases that are highly dangerous to operators even at very low levels e.g. hydrazine, methylsilane, ethyl cyanoacrylate and uranyl fluoride.
