  • Webinar: Countering Predictability in Explosives Screening

    FLIR will host a free webinar June 3 at 1:30pm GMT on the basics of explosives trace detection. Join this session to learn how the new Fido X2 enables random screening protocols that increase the likelihood of threat detection and adds a new layer of protection to security screening.

  • 2016 IAFC Baltimore New Product Showcase with The Haz Mat Guys

    While at the IAFC Hazmat event in Baltimore, Mike Monaco gave us the opportunity to introduce our new identiFINDER R200 to the Haz Mat Guys community.

  • FLIR CBRNE Equipment Manufacturers Keep First Responders Safe

    Emergency preparedness and resilience professionals from multiple disciplines (fire, emergency medical services, emergency management, law enforcement, public health, etc.) and multiple jurisdictions (local, state, and federal levels) participated in the DomPrep roundtable titled “Toxic – What Keeps the Experts Up at Night?” in conjunction with the International Association of Fire Chief’s Hazardous Materials Conference (IAFC HAZMAT) last month.

  • 3 FLIR Detection Products Win ‘ASTOR’ Homeland Security 2016 Awards

    Most notably, FLIR’s identiFINDER R200 achieved the Gold Award for Best CBRNE Detection System. With clear user interface and simple data presentation common to all identiFINDER products, the FLIR identiFINDER R200 allows for quick integration with existing operational protocols, reducing the training burden and allowing more time dedicated toward keeping our nation safe.

  • Take Temperature Measurements Safely with FLIR’s New TG54 & TG56

    Today FLIR launched the new TG54 and TG56 Spot IR Thermometers, which allow professionals to quickly and easily take measurements in places that are out of reach for most IR thermometers.

  • Emerging Applications for Miniature Thermal Imaging Cameras

    Thermal imaging has a multitude of uses, but none are more important than the ones that save lives, whether it is locating people in a fire, finding suspects in total darkness, or helping drivers and captains to navigate at night.

  • Forensic Investigations Using Thermography and Steam

    Researchers looking for an alternative method of detecting the presence of dilute concentrations of blood on fabric have found a solution in thermal imaging. While blood is not visible on its own in the infrared spectrum, they discovered it was possible to create a thermal signature by introducing water vapor to a bloodstained sample. Despite some challenges with natural fibers, this thermal imaging method may be a preferable alternative to the use of luminol in forensic investigations.

  • NDT-Materials Testing

    FLIR cameras with Lock-In, Transient, and Pulse capability can perform advanced inspections such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or stress mapping, resolving temperature differences as low as 1 mK. NDT is widely used to evaluate the properties of a material, component, or system without causing damage. IR cameras can detect internal defects through target excitation and the observation of thermal differences on a target's surface.

  • FLIR X6540sc camera enables innovative thermographic particle velocimetry technique

    A multiphase flow is defined as a flow in which more than one phase (i.e. gas, solid and liquid) occurs. Such flows are ubiquitous in industry, examples being gas-liquid flows in evaporators and condensers, gas-liquid-solid flows in chemical reactors, solid-gas flows in pneumatic conveying, etc. Multiphase flows can exhibit a rich variety of interfacial phenomena, complex wave patterns and dynamics and are an ongoing object of research.
