    Thermal Imaging Camera

Capable of scanning large areas rapidly and pinpointing gas leaks in real time, the FLIR GF346 thermal imaging camera is suitable for safely monitoring plants where it is difficult to reach components with contact measurement tools such as gas sniffers. It finds carbon monoxide and other toxic gases/vapors such as acetonitrile, acetyl cyanide, arsine, bromine isocyanate, chlorine isocyanate, chlorodimethylsilane, cyanogen bromide, dichloromethylsilane, ethenone, ethyl thiocyanate, germane, hexyl isocyanide, ketene, methyl thiocyanate, nitrous oxide and silane. Operating over -20 to 300 °C, the lightweight camera can detect even the smallest amounts of leaking gas. Tracing leaks to their source by visualizing them as an image, it reduces repair downtime and provides safe verification of manufacturing processes. Literally thousands of components can be scanned per shift without the need to interrupt the process. In addition to gas leak detection, the camera can also be used for general predictive maintenance. High and low voltage electrical installations, mechanical systems, pipework and insulation can all seamlessly be inspected.
