  • Keeping the Lights On and Preventing Failures with the FLIR Si124

    SPI Inspections provides their customers with top-notch utility system and infrastructure inspections, relying on their extensive experience in the field and advanced inspection technology. Recently, they test-ran the new FLIR Si124 acoustic imaging camera. Built with 124 microphones, the Si124 produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information in real time on top of a digital camera picture. This allows the user to visually pinpoint the source of the sound.

  • How Optical Gas Imaging Benefits a Low-Carbon Economy and Corporate ESG Reporting

    Optical gas imaging cameras are a versatile tool, promoting efficient facility operations and responsible corporate citizenship by quickly identifying gas leaks, confirming vented emissions, and accurately quantifying both.

  • Pin vs Pinless Moisture Meters: Which Do You Need?

    Learn about the differences between pin and pinless moisture meters and find out which type suits your needs. Explore their benefits and applications.

  • Is It Really That Dangerous to Smoke at a Gas Station?

    You could potentially ignite a catastrophic fire by smoking at a gas station—myth or reality? It turns out the No Smoking signs you see at a gas pump are there for a good reason. The real danger of smoking at a gas station isn’t oil spills or anything else that you can see, but a hazard entirely invisible to the human eye: gasoline vapors. Using a FLIR Optical Gas Imaging camera, we can see the full picture of what’s happening when you pump gas.

  • Keeping Norwegian Tunnels Safe with Automatic Incident Detection

    FLIR was selected to provide intelligent dual-vision cameras with embedded Automatic Incident Detection (AID) in the new Hundvåg and Eiganes tunnels in Norway. The cameras now alert tunnel operators to a variety of possible traffic incidents, including stopped vehicles, lost cargo, and pedestrians, allowing emergency services to react quickly.

  • What is High Sensitivity Mode?

    FLIR gas detection cameras are extremely sensitive, but sometimes a gas leak that’s particularly small or far away requires something extra to be visualized. Using a feature called high sensitivity mode (HSM), operators can spot even the smallest of leaks.

  • Increase perimeter security by combining thermal cameras with radar detection

    Critical infrastructure sites rely on perimeter intrusion detection systems to detect approaching people or vehicles that could pose a threat to the enterprise. Traditional sensors used for these security systems include fiber optic cables, microwave sensors, visible cameras, and fence shakers. Today, security directors and system integrators favor layering multispectral (thermal and visible) PTZ cameras with radars to increase the probability of detection and reduce false alarms. This white paper explores the advantages of implementing a perimeter security system that combines radar technologies with thermal multi-sensors to achieve greater site coverage, deliver higher performance, and reduce total cost of ownership.

  • A Perfect Tool for Finding Wildlife

    Tools for detecting wildlife have evolved a lot in the last century. Binoculars are now quite commonly used throughout the world, followed by light amplifying nighttime vision systems that can be used to spot animals at night. But even nightvision sometimes isn't enough for spotting animals in difficult to see conditions, which is why FLIR offers a range of ever-evolving handheld thermal monoculars for detecting wildlife. Thermal imaging cameras see through darkness and ignore visual camouflage. Unlike all other nighttime vision systems, they require no light whatsoever to produce a clear image. Many warm-blooded animals are mostly active at night, using the cover of darkness to remain undetected, but will show up clearly in a thermal image, even in total darkness and in practically all weather conditions.

  • FLIR OGI Camera Helps Oil and Gas Company Reduce Operating Costs by 35 Percent

    A new, efficient leak-detection solution for monitoring fugitive emissions and hydrocarbon leaks 24/7 is helping reduce the environmental impact of emissions, reduce operating costs, and even prevent potential regulatory fees for a US oil and gas company.

  • Machine vision: pick and place with FLIR thermal imaging cameras

    Machine vision inspections using visual cameras can occasionally cause recognition problems if the product and background have too little color contrast. In such cases, thermal imaging cameras can be a practical solution - especially if the product has a different temperature than the transport medium. In many cases such temperature differences are caused by the production process. Injection molding applications are ideal for this, for example, because the produced parts come out of the machine here at a relatively high temperature.

  • The Latest Technology for Quantifying Gas Leaks

    In this recorded webinar, Director of Business Development Craig O’Neill, discussed how the FLIR QL320 is changing the way the oil & gas industry quantifies emissions and how easy it is to use with the family of FLIR OGI cameras.
