FLIR G306-Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera for Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF₆)

Description

The FLIR G306 is an innovative Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera used to visualize sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), ammonia (NH), ethylene (C₂H₄), and other industrial gas leaks in various environments. SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that’s more than 23,000 times greater than C0₂ over a 100-year period.

SF₆ is commonly used within the electric power industry as an insulator and quenching medium for gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers.

With the portable, non-contact G306, you can safely and efficiently scan substations for dangerous and environmentally harmful gas leaks without interfering with electric utility delivery or shutting down industrial operations.
