Description

FLIR GFx320 OGI Thermal Imager

intrinsically safe methane detection

Improved efficiency

The FLIR GFx320 gas detection FLIR thermal imaging camera is the first OGI camera with intrinsic safety certification for use in potentially explosive environments. The FLIR GFx320 OGI camera is FLIR's latest offering for volatile hydrocarbon leak detection in refineries and the petrochemical industry. The intrinsically safe designation means that technicians can use the thermal imaging camera within ATEX classified zones. The FLIR GFx320 OGI camera is the safest way to detect methane and VOC leaks.

Intrinsically safe

The FLIR GFx320 is independently certified as "intrinsically safe", allowing safe access to ATEX classified areas for fast leak detection.
Fast and unsurpassed gas detection

Fast and unsurpassed gas detection

An OGI thermal imaging inspection with the FLIR GFx320 is up to nine times faster than with traditional tools such as sniffers, and is safer since it can be performed at a distance from the components. In addition, the sensitivity of the FLIR GFx320 camera meets the detection requirements of the US EPA-NSPS OOOOa standard.

Protect people, plant and environment

The leakage of volatile organic compounds poses a major risk to the safety of people and the plant. By finding and repairing leaks quickly, you will work in a safer environment, while complying with environmental regulations.

Sensitivity to visualize even small leaks

The FLIR Gx320 mounts a cooled indium antimonide detector with high sensitivity and maximum resolution, so you can visualize methane and volatile compound leaks quickly. Identify the exact source of emissions and begin repairs immediately. In addition, the FLIR GFx320 OGI camera has maximum accuracy for temperature measurement, allowing you to observe temperature differentials and enhance visual contrast for better gas plume detection.
