Industrial Safety Gas Detection Cameras serve dual purpose

Publication: October 2009

Industrial Safety

The new GF320 infrared camera is for general gas detection, but is fully radiometric as well. This means it can see, measure and visualise temperature too. So in addition to gas leak detection this newcomer can also be used for infrared electrical and mechanical inspection. That means it can also be used to look at anything from a worn bearing or faulty electrical connection to a leaking pipe or missing insulation. It is able to measure temperatures from -40 to 350°C with ±1°C of accuracy. Inbuilt video recording, digital camera and laser pointer all enhance the potential of this multi- purpose model. As the camera gives a complete picture, areas that do not require further investigation can be eliminated immediately. Furthermore as it has a high sensitivity of <25mK even very small gas leaks can be seen at a good range. It also has inbuilt GPS allowing the service team to be directed to the source of the problem quickly and efficiently.
