SF6 Gas
FLIR G306 OGI Cameras for Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF₆)
Improve substation inspection with the FLIR G306â„¢ for sulfur hexafluoride.
The FLIR G306 is an innovative Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera used to visualize sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), ammonia (NH₃), ethylene (Câ‚‚Hâ‚„), and other industrial gas leaks in various environments.Â
SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that’s more than 23,000 times greater than C0â‚‚ 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.Â
Comfortably operate and interact with your portable G306, thanks to a rotating 4 inch LCD touchscreen that allows you view targets from a safe distance in any direction, in complex systems including electric utility transmission facilities and industrial plants. You can quickly scan substations in an efficient manner for harmful gas leaks without shutting down industrial operations.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® allow you to connect to smartphones or tablets and effortlessly edit and store images in the cloud, or wirelessly transfer files using the included FLIR Ignite™ cloud service.
