Infrared Camera for Gas Leak Detection and Electrical Inspections

FLIR GF300 is a preventative maintenance solution to spot leaks in piping, flanges and connections in petrochemical operations. The camera can rapidly scan large areas and pinpoint leaks in real time. It is ideal for monitoring plants that are difficult to reach with contact measurement tools.

Literally thousands of components can be scanned pershift without the need to interrupt the process. It reduces repair downtime and provides verification of the process. Above all it is exceptionally safe, allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several meters away. FLIR GF300 will significantly improve your work safety, environmental and regulatory compliance, not to mention helping to improve the bottom line by finding leaks that essentially decrease profits. The new GF3000 now embeds GPS data into the image allowing workers to pinpoint the location of the leak or hot spot.

Makes Reporting Easy

Images from FLIR GF-Series cameras are recordable to any off the shelf video recorder for easy archiving and documentation.
