FLIR GF306 Optical Gas Imaging Camera
The FLIR GF306 is a state-of-the-art infrared (IR) camera designed for optical gas imaging (OGI) that detects and visualises gas leaks of sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) and ammonia. With its ability to perform non-contact inspections from a safe distance, the FLIR GF306 enhances both safety and efficiency in industrial environments—without the need to de-energise high-voltage equipment or disrupt operations.
Ideal for use in electric utilities, chemical plants, and fertiliser production facilities, the FLIR GF306 allows for quick, precise leak detection that prevents costly breakdowns and supports compliance with environmental regulations.
Why Choose the FLIR GF306?
Reliable Gas Leak Detection
The FLIR GF306 is specially engineered to detect SF₆ and ammonia—two gases commonly used in high-risk industrial processes. SF₆ is a critical insulator in gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers, while ammonia plays a key role in fertiliser production. By detecting even small leaks early, the FLIR GF306 helps protect valuable equipment and avoid revenue loss due to unexpected failures.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
Reduce inspection time and increase coverage with the FLIR GF306. The camera’s optical gas imaging capabilities allow users to scan broad areas quickly—without physically accessing difficult or dangerous locations. The wireless connectivity feature supports seamless image transfer and remote control via smartphones or tablets, making inspections smoother and more flexible.
In addition to gas detection, the FLIR GF306 measures temperatures up to 500°C, making it an essential tool in your predictive maintenance strategy. Integrating thermal imaging with gas detection enables facility managers to identify not only gas leaks but also overheating components that could signal future issues.
Improved Worker Safety
The FLIR GF306 prioritises safety through non-contact inspection. Operators can identify leaks while maintaining a safe distance from energised high-voltage equipment, significantly reducing the risk of electrical exposure. Its ergonomic design, bright LCD screen, and tiltable viewfinder ensure comfortable use throughout a full shift—even in challenging field conditions.
Environmental Protection
SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 24,000 times greater than CO₂. Even minor leaks can contribute significantly to environmental harm and regulatory violations. The FLIR GF306 supports environmental responsibility by allowing for the early detection and documentation of SF₆ leaks, helping organisations meet sustainability targets and regulatory compliance.
