US thermal imaging camera and sensor developer Teledyne FLIR has launched its new G-Series family of high-tech, cooled-core optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras that can better assist in leak detection and repair (LDAR) operations in the oil and gas industry and other sectors, it announced on April 4.
"The G-Series is designed to empower everyday users in the oil and gas, manufacturing, steel and utility industries to spend more time prioritising leak repairs, and less time documenting them while gaining better insight into the severity of the emission," Teledyne FLIR, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, said.
The series features seven camera models, all available with wireless connectivity enabling operators to automatically upload and store saved images and videos to FLIR Ignite cloud software in the field. It has easy compatibility with third-party analysis software so operators can wirelessly share captured content with colleagues for review. Quick-swap interchangeable lenses also give users flexibility to inspect from multiple distances, Teledyne FLIR said.
“For the first time, the Teledyne FLIR G-Series provides unmatched user ergonomics with quantification in camera for the hydrocarbon models, adding seamless emissions measurement into the everyday leak detection and repair process,” said Craig O’Neill, global OGI business development director at Teledyne FLIR. “These new models represent a breakthrough in OGI with advanced features, updated wireless communication protocols, and a rotatable touchscreen LCD to maximise user efficiency in the field.”
