FLIR GFx320 The gas detection solution the oil and gas market has been waiting for!
Finding and fixing Hydrocarbon and VOC leaks is vital to your company’s bottom line and staff‘s safety that‘s why FLIR has made its trusted optical gas imaging technology better with the ground-breaking new GFx320. The proven innovative technology visualises more than 400 gas compounds.
Detecting flow rates as small as 0.4 grams per hour and designed to be sensitive enough to pinpoint leaks immediately means you can find leaks up to nine times faster than with traditional gas sniffers. It‘s digital camera‘s automatic GPS tagging ensures you‘ll meet regulatory reporting requirements without the need for extra equipment.
Like all FLIR‘s methane sighting cameras the GFx320 offers superior gas visualisation, so you can pinpoint the exact source of fugitive emissions. It‘s calibrated to measure temperature allowing you to assess thermal contrasts during leak inspections, and it ensures you have optimal temperature difference between gas compounds and the background environment thus increasing leak detectability five-fold with FLIR‘s unique high sensitivity mode. This accentuates plume movement using proprietary video processing techniques. In addition, the GFx320 is capable of measuring temperatures up to 350°C with an accuracy of ±1°C. This is critical for assessing thermal contrast between the gas compound and the background scene.
Hazardous-Location Certified - The GFx320 is independently certified as Intrinsically Safe and third-party approved for use in hazardous locations. The oil and gas market has long awaited this gas detection solution, as its Intrinsically Safe designation allows the user to work quickly and confidently, and scan for fugitive emissions in more areas than ever before.
Surveyors can use the GFx320 to scan large areas and check thousands of components over the course of one inspection. Fix gas leaks quickly and potentially save your company thousands in lost gas, and lost profits while improving regulatory compliance and protecting the environment!
With ergonomic features such as the tilt-able eyepiece, articulating LCD screen and rotating hand grip and camcorder-style construction allows the user to maintain three points of contact during operations, taking the strain out of a full day of surveys.
Designed for use in following industries:
- Offshore platforms
- Liquid natural gas shipping terminals
- Oil refineries
- Natural gas wellheads and processing plants
- Compressor stations
- Bio-gas and power generation plants
At offshore rigs, well sites, and production plants, there’s often a risk of gas collecting and igniting with a stray spark or hot surface. Working in these areas requires special clothing and equipment – if it’s possible at all. The oil and gas industry has long awaited a gas detection solution such as the GFx320, because its Intrinsically Safe designation allows the user to work confidently and focus on the job at hand.
The GFx320 visualises more than 400 gas compounds including:
- Methane
- Methanol
- Propane
- Benzene
- Ethane
- Propylene
- Ethanol
- Pentane
- 1-Pentene
- Isoprene
- Butane
- Ethylbenzene
- MEK
- MIBK
- Toluene
- Octane
- Heptane
- Xylene
- Ethylene
- Hexane
