FLIR G306

Optical Gas Imaging Camera

Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera for Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF₆)

The FLIR G306 is an advanced Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera designed to detect sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), ammonia (NH₃), ethylene (C₂H₄), and other industrial gas leaks across a range of environments.

SF₆ is a highly potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential more than 23,000 times greater than CO₂ over a 100-year period.

It’s commonly used in the electricity sector as an insulator and arc-quenching medium in gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers.

With the portable, non-contact G306, you can safely and efficiently inspect substations for hazardous and environmentally damaging gas leaks—without disrupting power delivery or halting industrial operations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What gases can the FLIR G306 detect?

The FLIR G306 is designed to visualise sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), ammonia (NH₃), ethylene (C₂H₄), and other industrial gases. These gases are commonly used in the electric power, chemical, and manufacturing sectors.

How does the G306 differ from other FLIR G-Series cameras?

The G306 uses a cooled QWIP detector operating in the 10.3–10.7 µm spectral range, optimised for detecting SF₆ and similar gases. It offers high thermal sensitivity (<15 mK) and is part of FLIR’s G-Series, which includes models tailored for different gas types and industrial applications.
