A high-definition (HD), handheld optical gas imaging (OGI) camera, the FLIR GF620, has been introduced by FLIR Systems. Designed for oil and gas industry professionals, the GF620 camera sets a new standard for detecting and visualising invisible leaks of hydrocarbons, such as methane, and common volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Heavy industries such as mining, shipbuilding and materials handling rely on heavy, rugged, industrial cables to ensure continuous power supply or communication, because of this the consequences of a cable break are costly. So, for the German cable repair specialist Becker and Hüser, FLIR thermal imaging is playing a vital role in helping to pinpoint the exact location of the problem.

A new handheld camera from FLIR offers inspection professionals the features they need to find potentially dangerous, invisible methane leaks at natural gas power plants, renewable energy production facilities, industrial plants, and other locations along a natural gas supply chain.

It has been reported by FLIR Systems how its FLIR A6700 series thermal cameras with Lock-In, Transient, and Pulse capabilities can perform advanced inspections such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or stress mapping, resolving temperature differences as low as 1mK.

It has been reported by FLIR Systems how its GF304 optical gas imaging camera has been used to detect Freon R-124 gas leaks from a refrigeration plant compressor without interrupting or shutting down operations. Most modern refrigerants are organofluorine compounds, and while they are not ozone-depleting, some blends contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

A whitepaper has been published by FLIR Systems that discusses how new Infrared (IR) camera technologies are providing engineers and technicians with the tools they need to address the difficulties of high-speed automotive testing. Traditional forms of temperature measurement such as thermocouples are not practical for systems in motion.

Steel breakouts are catastrophic process failures that are both extremely dangerous and costly. Monitoring the health of ladles and torpedoes using thermal imaging can greatly minimise the risk but a handheld infrared camera can only provide a periodic check on the health of these critical transport structures. ANT Automation has overcome this limitation by developing a system that provides continuous thermal monitoring and at its heart is F...

The University of Southern California (USC) Rocket Propulsion Lab has used a FLIR T540 thermal camera to provide valuable data at a level unattainable with thermocouples to measure performance of a rocket thermal protection system during engine firing.

FLIR Systems announces update version 4.40 of its popular thermal measurement, recording and analysis software - ResearchIR.  

FLIR Systems announces its A6750sc MWIR camera is suitable for recording fast thermal events due to its short exposure times and high frame rates.

  In order to provide a hyperspectral imaging solution that allows you to collect any waveband of spectral and spatial information in one high-speed video frame, FLIR Systems has teamed up with imaging specialists, Bodkin Design and Engineering LLC (BD&E).

  Thermal imaging camera range, the FLIR A6750sc SLS, from FLIR Systems comes standard with Lock-In, Transient, and Pulse capabilities enabling meticulous Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or stress mapping, resolving temperature differences as low as 1mK.

The FLIR A6750sc SLS thermal imaging camera range from FLIR Systems comes standard with Lock-In, Transient, and Pulse capabilities enabling you to undertake meticulous Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or stress mapping, resolving temperature differences as low as 1mK. NDT is widely used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage.

FLIR Systems has published a customer testimonial video from Highland Technology (San Francisco, CA) in which staff describe their experience of using a FLIR ETS320 benchtop thermal imaging system which has made electronics design testing easier and more efficient.

The launch of the FLIR ONE Pro LT has been announced by FLIR Systems as a new lower price thermal imaging attachment for smartphones in the FLIR ONE Pro series. The FLIR ONE Pro LT features many of the professional-level tools and advanced thermal image quality that define the FLIR ONE Pro series.

The T500 Series thermal camera with new Macro mode facility from FLIR Systems provides a solution for electronics inspection applications such as finding hot spots on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and ensuring that various components are working within their design limits.

In the Northern hemisphere, November through to March is a particularly testing time for any energy supplier. Electrical load is at its highest and the likelihood of a breakdown is far greater so the quick and efficient detection of faulty power lines and connections is vital. For many utility companies thermal imaging has significantly boosted their ability for preventing failures.

A new application note has been published by FLIR Systems which describes how scientists at the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility, CSIRO Agriculture & Food, Canberra (Australia) used a FLIR A645sc thermal imaging camera to capture and record thermal distributions and variations in crop canopies.

  An application note has been published by FLIR Systems that describes how IntelliView, a Canadian specialist video analytics company, developed a smart camera solution based on a FLIR thermal camera to remotely automatically monitor oil pump stations for leaks.

The latest addition to FLIR Systems' Exx-Series of advanced thermal imaging cameras for electrical, mechanical, and building applications has been announced. The FLIR E53 is an entry-level model in the Exx-Series, but offers the same image clarity, measurement accuracy, and many of the robust features as other models in the Exx lineup. The E53 brings advanced thermal imaging within the reach of many more service professionals and contractors...
