  • Source/vendor part number for A320x/A20/40 Screw Terminals

    The source of the screw terminals at the back panel of the A series cameras is Phoenix Contacts (http://www.phoenixcontact.com)

  • FLIR Delivers the Complete Thermal Camera Lineup for Firefighters

    This week we introduced a range of thermal imaging firefighting solutions during the world’s largest exhibition for firefighters, FDIC International in Indianapolis, Indiana. In the process, we made major strides in our mission to make high quality thermal imaging cameras standard issue equipment for firefighters.

  • What is the correlation between focal length (mm) and FOV (°) A20 A40?

    The difference of FOV at the same focal length (f) is due to different detector sizes.

  • Can FLIR AX8 and A310 camera data be accessed by PanelView Plus 6 and PanelView Plus 7 terminals?

    Can FLIR AX8 and A310 camera data be accessed by PanelView Plus 6 and PanelView Plus 7 terminals?

  • Triggering options into Recorder advanced parameters of Altair

    When one of the two triggering options is selected in the Advanced Menu of the Recorder tab (see screenshot of the Recorder advanced parameters window), it is no longer possible to deselect both of them at the same time.

  • Application Spotlight: Welding Inspection

    Weldings are crucial to an automobile's safety and quality, but standard methods for testing are destructive. Most often, these tests are costly and only feasible for a small part of the weld. In order to properly check the weld and gain meaningful insight into the welding processes, some inspectors are starting to use thermal imaging to visualize weld seam quality.

  • Inspecting Natural Gas Compressors

    Compressors can fail for several reasons, including extensive wear or thermal stress on components. Determining the source of the failure through external inspections can be time consuming and labor intensive, while internal component inspections are challenging when you can't directly see inside the equipment. Incorporating a borescope or OGI camera into a routine maintenance plan can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors.

  • Inspecting Motors, Pumps, and Valves

    A motor breakdown, pump failure, or valve leak is always a critical issue in the oil and gas supply chain. They can result in pollution, product or energy loss, and shutdown of equipment or a production line. That’s why motor, pump, and valve inspections using FLIR thermal imaging technology are a vitally important part of predictive maintenance programs for so many businesses.

  • Application Spotlight: Upstream and Midstream Security

    With miles of gas lines to manage, oil and gas companies face many security and asset monitoring challenges. One solution is a thermal security solution that provides early warning of gas flow issues through pipes, as well as perimeter protection. Unique analytics allow companies to expand perimeter protection without a large investment in additional fence and or hardware.

  • HFC Detection Using Optical Gas Imaging Increases Safety & Efficiency While Reducing Emissions

    While the oil-and-gas industry has benefited greatly from the use of optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras—improving worker safety and plant efficiency while reducing emissions—the technology has yet to gain a similar foothold in the petrochemical industry, despite offering similar advantages. Comfort with existing gas-detection methods and a lack of familiarity with the full capabilities of OGI cameras often act as barriers to the latter’s implementation. However, with commercial hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) gas emissions now under increased scrutiny by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other global regulators, there is more impetus for HFC producers and industrial HFC users to deploy new and emerging technologies to ensure mechanical integrity of their processes and equipment.

  • What Happens After an Intruder is Detected?

    System integrators design perimeter surveillance systems that prepare everyday security personnel for their worst-case scenarios—not because they might happen, but because they do. When it comes to building an end-to-end solution, it’s important for security customers to prioritize threat recognition sensors such as thermal cameras and radar for the critical task of detecting intruders.
