Optical gas imaging camera for hazardous locations
The FLIR GFx320 Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera offers unmatched technology for visualising fugitive hydrocarbon leaks at natural gas well sites, off-shore platforms, liquid natural gas terminals, and more. To allow surveyors to work more confidently and safely, the GFx320 is certified to visualise small hydrocarbon leaks with the sensitivity required to meet the US EPA's OOOOa methane rule.
Optical gas imaging for the automotive industry
FLIR Systems has published an article that discusses how the Automotive Industry is adopting Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera technology to improve workplace safety, cost efficiency, equipment monitoring and leak tightness testing. Optical Gas Imaging cameras are a proven technology for visualising gases by utilising the physics of often ‘invisible to the eye’ fugitive gas leaks.
Deep learning-enabled machine vision camera
FLIR Systems has announced the launch of the FLIR Firefly DL, a deep learning, inference-enabled machine vision camera with FLIR Neuro technology. With its small size, low weight, minimal power consumption, and deep learning capabilities, the FLIR Firefly DL camera is well suited for embedding into mobile, desktop, and handheld systems.
Thermal camera streamlines industrial inspections
FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR T860, its latest addition to the high-performance T-Series family. This new thermal camera is the first to feature onboard Inspection Route software, ideal for streamlining inspections of critical assets, including power substation components, distribution lines, manufacturing equipment, or facility electrical and mechanical systems.
Affordable methane detection camera for gas inspection professionals
The GF77 from FLIR Systems is an affordable, handheld methane detection camera that allows inspection professionals to actually see invisible methane leaks and other industrial gases at natural gas power plants, renewable energy production facilities, industrial plants, and other locations along a natural gas supply chain.
Camera sets a new standard for research grade SWIR imaging
Combining high-speed performance with fully customisable features, the FLIR A6260 offers improved sensitivity and linearity across the full dynamic range, making it ideal for radiometry and temperature calibrated applications. The FLIR A6260 records full-frame data at 180 fps and can be synchronised with other instruments enabling precision stop-action recording of high-speed events.
Increased efficiency with infrared thermography
Since the arrival of the personal computer, the electronics market has been subject to a constant, overarching pressure from end-users to miniaturise components while maximising performance. However, meeting these twin demands presents a challenge: how does one accurately test tiny components for both product faults and overall quality control when most of these electronics are too small for conventional diagnostic tools?
Fast high precision thermal testing
FLIR Systems T530 / T540 thermal imaging cameras are designed to offer R&D scientists and engineers the resolution, crisp imagery, and temperature accuracy needed to help improve product design, increase efficiency, or gain insight into a target’s thermal behaviour.
Thermal imaging indispensable for investigating damp spots
Paul Sevink is a professional handyman, the scope of his work is extremely broad. In addition to general maintenance and renovation, he installs and maintains vacuum cleaning systems and infrared heat panels and he is also a certified wood refurbishment specialist. And for fault finding in all these applications, thermal imaging has an important role to play.
Fast and accurate outdoor thermal measurement
The T840 infrared camera from FLIR Systems is packed with features for R&D professionals tasked with making fast and accurate thermal measurements outdoors, and features the award-winning design of the FLIR T-series camera platform.
Thermal imaging webinars available on demand
FLIR Systems has announced the availability of three new recorded webinars that will be of interest to people interested in, or users of thermal cameras for R&D /science applications. The webinars include; 'The Advantages of LWIR SLS Thermal Cameras' and ‘Thermocouples vs. Infrared cameras’.
Determining the thermal characteristics of microelectronic devices
FLIR Systems has reported how researchers from the Microscale Thermophysics Laboratory at the University of Texas (Arlington, USA) are using FLIR thermal cameras to measure heat dissipation in three-dimensional integrated circuits (ICs).
Non-contact voltage detector for safe job site
A non-contact voltage detector with a built-in flashlight designed for field-troubleshooting and verification of residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations has been announced by FLIR Systems, with the new FLIR VP42. The FLIR VP42 makes it easy to quickly troubleshoot live and neutral wiring to ensure a safe job site.
Understanding cooled and uncooled optical gas imaging
A technical note has been published by FLIR Systems that discusses and compares the advantages of cooled versus uncooled Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology for different industrial applications. Historically, OGI cameras have been designed with cooled infrared (IR) detectors that offer several advantages over uncooled detectors, but they often come at a higher cost.
Multi-platform software for thermal imaging data collection
It has been announced that FLIR Systems has introduced FLIR Research Studio, a new thermal imaging software for Research and Development (R&D) and science professionals. Available for a free trial download, FLIR Research Studio is designed for use across multiple platforms and in 22 languages, to allow R&D and engineering teams to collaborate on thermal data collection, analysis, and sharing.
Collecting thermal data at high speeds
A new guide book for military scientists, engineers and ballisticians interested in using thermal imaging for long range measurement and projectile tracking has been published by FLIR Systems. With the abundance of temperature measurement tools available, why should researchers and engineers consider thermal imaging?
Certified thermographers courses throughout the UK
Thermal imaging is getting smarter. Even troubleshooting infrared cameras have standard features that were once only the preserve of top-of-the-range models. Sophisticated user interfaces allow simple point and shoot operation. One click saves the image in a variety of modes, complete with embedded thermal data for subsequent analysis.
Integrating thermal cameras with software solutions
It has been announced that FLIR Systems has partnered with MathWorks to offer MATLAB software solutions for its R&D/Science grade thermal camera users. As a result of this cooperation FLIR R&D/Science grade thermal cameras now integrate seamlessly into MATLAB.
Detecting leaks from electrical circuit breakers
It has been announced that FLIR Systems has published a new application spotlight that addresses the challenge that electrical power stations face in detecting gas leaks from their Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers. Sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers protect electrical power stations and distribution systems by interrupting electric currents, when tripped by a protective relay.
High-performance thermal camera family
A new thermal camera in the high-performance T-Series family has been launched by FLIR Systems with the FLIR T840. The high-resolution FLIR T840 offers a brighter display and an integrated viewfinder to help electrical utility, plant managers, and other thermography professionals find and diagnose failing components in any lighting conditions to help avoid costly power outages and plant shutdowns.
