FLIR Systems Korea announced on the 19th that it is launching two high-performance gas detection cameras for professionals in the oil and gas industry.

FLIR GF620

FLIR GF620, a high-resolution Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera, easily detects and visualizes even very small amounts of invisible gases such as methane and propane.

The GF620 is the first FLIR OGI camera to be equipped with a 640x480 infrared detector. Because it utilizes four times more pixels than FLIR's existing models, workers can safely perform tasks from a greater distance than when using low-resolution cameras.

The GF620 is a next-generation camera product suitable for methane gas leak detection, featuring high sensitivity standards, calibrated temperature measurement performance, and an ergonomic design, as well as being designed to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's OOOOa methane regulations.

The GF620 is designed to enable experts in various fields, including oil, natural gas, power generation, power supply, consulting/services, government and public institutions, to detect leaks of clear hydrocarbons such as methane or common volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The GF620 is released calibrated for temperature measurement. Users can improve visibility by adjusting the temperature contrast between the gas and the background and add location tags using the built-in GPS.

The GF620, which features a patented High Sensitivity Mode (HSM), emphasizes the movement of flowing gas, providing excellent detection performance even in low-contrast environments.

This product offers an automatic preset function called 'Q-Mode' to enable use with the optional Providence Photonics, LLC QL320 gas metering system. By utilizing Q-mode, the mass or volume of leaked gas can be measured.

Maintenance workers can use the temperature measurement function of the GF620 to inspect for wear or potential failures in electrical and mechanical parts.

Meanwhile, FLIR released the FLIR GF77, an affordable non-cooled methane gas detection camera, on the 5th.

FLIR GF77

The GF77 is FLIR's first uncooled portable thermal imaging camera for methane detection, and it is available at about half the price of existing cooled gas inspection thermal imaging cameras.

This camera equipment can be used to detect leaks, such as methane gas, which pose a potential risk and are invisible to the naked eye, in natural gas power plants, renewable energy generation facilities, industrial facilities, and various facilities within the natural gas supply chain.

Designed based on the FLIR T-series portable thermal imaging camera platform, the GF77 features a lightweight and ergonomic design, a clear LCD touchscreen, and a viewfinder that is easy to use in all lighting conditions. Like the GF620, it adopts FLIR's patented HSM technology.

It also supports laser-assisted AF technology that enables inspectors to accurately locate gas leaks, and a one-touch contrast enhancement function that displays leaked gas in a different color to ensure a clear contrast with the background.

The fast-responding GUI enhances work efficiency by providing features such as organizing work folders, recording notes, and adding GPS location information.

The GF620 and GF77 are currently being sold through official FLIR dealers worldwide.
