FLIR Cameras Make Greenhouse Gases Visible
Posted on | February 5, 2009 | Comments Off
Easily Detects Sulfur Hexafluoride!
FLIR’s GasfindIR-LW Infrared Camera Can Sense Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), the “Greenhouse Gas” with an Estimated Atmospheric Lifetime of 3,200 Years.
Based on a unique, patent-pending technology, FLIR’s GasFindIR-LW is a one-of-a-kind infrared camera designed to help the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and utility companies to better control Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) emissions. In addition to the “greenhouse gas” SF6, the versatile GasFindIR-LW can also detect more than 20 other fugitive gases. Preserve the environment now and for future generations!
* Detects SF6 at levels as low as 0.026g/hr
* Also detects the following:
o Acetic Acid (C2H4O2)
o Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3)
o Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
o Dichlorodifluoromethane “FREON-12″ (CCl2F2)
o Ethyl Cyanoacrylate “Superglue” (C6H7NO2)
o Ethylene (C2H4)
What do all FLIR Infrared Cameras have in common?
The GasFindIR-LW comes with the FLIR name behind it. That means it incorporates FLIR’s 30+ years of experience in thermal imaging. You get superior ergonomics, advanced signal processing, ambient temperature control and a host of other infrared camera and thermal imaging exclusives. FLIR offers the widest selection of IR cameras and thermal imagers, the best post-sale technical support, the world’s largest and most experience thermal imaging training organization – the Infrared Training Center – and award-winning customer service. Our core business is infrared thermal imaging. We invite you to call and speak with an infrared camera or thermal imaging expert at 1 800 464 6372.
