Using its unique High Sensitivity Mode (HSM), the FLIR GFx320 Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera is able to set a new superior standard for gas leak detection performance.
HSM uses image subtraction video processing technique, which effectively enhances the thermal sensitivity of the camera. The HSM feature subtracts a percentage of individual pixel signals from frames in the video stream from the subsequent frames, thus enhancing the differences between frames, which make leaks stand out more clearly in the resulting images. Using the high sensitivity mode even the smallest of gas leaks can be spotted using a GFx 320 OGI camera.
The FLIR GFx320 offers quick, non-contact measurement of gas leaks in real time. Where many other measuring instruments only present users with a number, the FLIR GFx 320 presents visual information, making the leak detection process more intuitive.
