FLIR thermal cameras for optical gas detection monitor gas pipelines from safe distances

摘要

FLIR Systems Inc. in Wilson-ville, Ore., is introducing the FLIR G300a, G300pt, and A6604 thermal cameras for optical gas detection for monitoring gas pipelines and installations from safe distances. Each model contains a cooled indium antimonide (InSb) detector, which enhances the sensitivity of each camera to de- tect small gas emissions. The G300a and G300pt cameras have a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels, while the A6604 has a resolution of 640 by 512 pixels. Each camera can be controlled via Ethernet, or integrated into any TCP/IP network. They also are GEV/Geni-cam-compatible. The G300a and A6604 cameras require an additional housing while the G300pt comes with its own housing mounted on a pan/tilt mechanism. The housing can rotate the camera 360-degree continuously and tilt 90 degrees. The three FLIR cameras detect benzene, ethanol, ethylbenzene, heptane, hexane, isoprene, metha-nol, MEK, MIBK, octane, pentane, 1-pentene, toluene, xylene, butane, ethane, methane, propane, ethylene, and propylene.
