The FLIR GF306 is a gas detection camera (OGI) that visualizes and locates gas leaks - especially of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and ammonia - without the need to de-energize high-voltage equipment or shut down operations. The portable camera also significantly improves operator safety by detecting emissions at a safe distance and helps protect the environment by detecting leaks of environmentally harmful gases.
SF6 is used in the electricity industry as an insulator and extinguishing agent for gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers. The gas is also used in magnesium production and semiconductor manufacturing. Ammonia is produced in ammonia plants and is mainly used for fertilizer production.
