Oil and gas inspection
Detect hydrocarbon leaks in HD
Flir has introduced the GF620, the industry's first portable optical gas imaging (OGI) camera with HD resolution. It has been specially developed for oil and gas industry experts.
The camera is suitable for detecting and visualizing invisible hydrocarbon leaks such as methane and other common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). With its HD resolution, the GF620 offers four times the number of pixels of previous models. This allows inspectors to detect fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from a greater and safer distance than with lower resolution OGI cameras.
The GF620 is the company's highest resolution OGI camera. It is equipped with an infrared detector with a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels and is calibrated for temperature measurements. This allows users to achieve optimal thermal contrast between the gas and the background area and adjust it to improve visibility. The GF620 is also equipped with the High Sensitivity Mode (HSM) developed by Flir. This highlights gas plume movements on the image so that they can be better recognized in low-contrast areas.
In addition, the GF620 is the first OGI camera to feature Q Mode - an automatic preset that allows the optional QL320 gas quantification system from Providence Photonics to be set up and used more efficiently. This system quantifies hydrocarbon leaks with mass or volume measurements and highlights emissions in color for better assessment. The GF620's Q mode optimizes the workflow from the camera to the QL320 software. This allows users to download a video from the field and post-process the footage.
The design of the GF620 allows experts to carry out inspections for fugitive emissions more comfortably and with less fatigue. In addition, maintenance teams can use the temperature measurement function to check electrical and mechanical components for signs of wear or potential defects. as
