General description
The FLIR GF346 is an infrared camera for optical gas imaging (OGI) that visualizes and pinpoints gas
leaks of carbon monoxide (CO) and other harmful gases, without the need to shut down the operation.
The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by detecting emissions at a safe distance,
and helps to protect the environment by tracing leaks of environmentally harmful gases.
CO is an industrial gas with applications in the steel industry and bulk chemicals manufacturing. It is also
used for packaging systems for fresh meat and fish.
Benefits:
• Improved efficiency: The FLIR GF346 reduces revenue loss by pinpointing even small gas leaks
quickly and efficiently, and from a distance. It also reduces the inspection time by allowing a broad
area to be scanned rapidly and without the need to interrupt the industrial process. The wireless con-
nectivity of the camera allows you to connect to smart phones or tablets for the wireless transfer of im-
ages or remote control of the camera. The FLIR GF346 can also be used for temperature
measurement, which makes it even more useful for predictive maintenance.
• Increased worker safety: CO can be toxic to humans when encountered in higher concentrations. OGI
allows gas leaks to be detected in a non-contact mode and from a safe distance. This reduces the risk
of the user being exposed to invisible and highly toxic gases or explosive chemicals. With a FLIR
GF346 gas imaging camera it is easy to scan areas of interest that are difficult to reach with conven-
tional methods. The camera is ergonomically designed, with a bright LCD and tiltable viewfinder,
which facilitates its use over a full working day.
• Protecting the environment: Several gases, such as CO, have a high global warming potential, and
are usually governed by regulations. Even small leaks can be detected and documented using the
FLIR GF346 camera.
Detects the following gases: carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, ketene, ethenone, butyl isocyanide, hexyl
isocyanide, cyanogen bromide, acetonitrile, acetyl cyanide, chlorine isocyanate, bromine isocyanate,
methyl thiocyanate, ethyl thiocyanate, chlorodimethylsilane, dichloromethylsilane, silane, germane, arsine.
