Flir Revises Gas Detection Guide

CROISSY-BEAUBOURG, France, Dec. 16, 2010 — A revised version of Flir Advanced Thermal Solutions’ popular publication, “Gas Detection – the Professional Guide,” is now available, the company said.

The 40-page guide leads readers through what an infrared gas detection camera is and how it works, the advantages of infrared gas detection, the applications for mid-wave and long-wave gas detection cameras, as well as how customers are benefiting from the company’s GasFindIR technology.

Proving to be a superior technology for finding hidden mechanical and electrical faults, infrared cameras have revolutionized maintenance in many industries. In addition, the cameras are suitable for locating invisible gas leaks.

Free copies of the guide can be requested at the company’s website.

Flir designs, manufactures and supports thermal imaging systems and subsystems for industrial, scientific, governmental, commercial and firefighting applications.

Glossary

infrared: Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
thermal imaging: Thermal imaging is a technology that detects infrared radiation (heat) emitted by objects and converts it into an image, known as a thermogram, which displays temperature variations in different colors. Unlike visible light imaging, thermal imaging does not require any ambient light and can be used in complete darkness or through obstructions such as smoke, fog, and certain materials. Thermal cameras use sensors to detect infrared radiation and generate images based on the temperature...
