Product Overview

The FLIR G306 Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera is a specialized, high-sensitivity infrared camera designed to detect and visualize Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF₆) and other gas emissions used in high-voltage electrical systems. SF₆ is a critical insulating gas in electrical switchgear and substations but is also a potent greenhouse gas. The FLIR G306 helps operators identify and repair leaks early, ensuring system reliability, environmental safety, and regulatory compliance.

Featuring a cooled 320 × 240 infrared detector, high thermal sensitivity, and quantitative analysis capabilities, the G306 provides clear, real-time visualization of SF₆ and related gases. Built for utility maintenance teams, power transmission operators, and environmental professionals, it enhances inspection efficiency while reducing downtime and gas loss.

Key Features

• Specialized SF₆ Gas Detection: Optimized spectral range for visualizing sulfur hexafluoride and similar halogenated gas emissions.
• High-Resolution Imaging: 320 × 240 (76,800 pixels) cooled infrared detector delivers sharp thermal visuals for precise leak localization.
• Exceptional Thermal Sensitivity: < 15 mK (0.015 °C) at 30 °C ensures detection of the smallest gas leaks under real-world conditions.
• Accurate Quantification: Built-in measurement tools and analysis software estimate gas leak rates on-camera, eliminating the need for separate devices.
• Broad Operating Range: Detects gas leaks safely from long distances — ideal for high-voltage and hard-to-access switchgear installations.
• Rugged Industrial Design: IP54-rated housing and robust construction for demanding field environments.
• Rotating Touchscreen Display: 4″ color touchscreen (640 × 480) allows flexible viewing angles and easy operation in bright outdoor light.
• Wireless Data Sharing: Integrated Wi-Fi and FLIR Ignite™ cloud connectivity for real-time reporting and secure data backup.
• Quantitative Reporting: Supports video and image recording for regulatory documentation and maintenance reporting.
• Safe for Electrical Inspections: Enables non-contact leak detection around energized equipment, minimizing risk to operators.
