| BOSTON,
Massachusetts (April 10, 2008) – FLIR
Systems, Inc , announced today the addition of the
ThermaCAM®
GasFindIR HSX™ to its line of GasFindIR infrared
cameras for the detection of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs). GasFindIR has been used extensively in oil and
gas, and petrochemical companies as a way to find gas
leaks as part of their predictive maintenance programs.
The GasFindIR HSX delivers high-volume scanning to productively
spot leaks in tank cars, pipelines, and facilities.
 “FLIR’s
GasFindIR cameras are proven in a number of applications
within the petrochemical, oil and gas industries. The
latest GasFindIR HSX reflects growing demand from our
customers to help find smaller leaks faster before they
become catastrophic. Having the right tools to prevent
equipment and facility downtime is key to having quality
maintenance programs and managing operational costs,”
said Paul Czerepuszko, Director, Business Development,
FLIR Systems.
The GasFindIR HSX adds six new scene integration modes
(for a total of nine scene integrations modes), new
battery and power features, better image resolution,
and new productivity features. The new camera helps
predictive maintenance organizations maximize safety
and profitability by keeping close watch on methane
and other VOC leaks in facilities and pipelines.
High Sensitivity Mode™ image enhancement provides
five times better sensitivity for gas detection. “Normal
Scene”, “Cold Scene”, and “Hot
Scene” can be selected at 60 Hz, 30 Hz, or 15
Hz to optimize for scene conditions. By changing frame
acquisition rates, thermographers can fine tune image
performance in hot and cold environments to help find
the smallest leaks.
Also new to the GasFindIR HSX is a Lithium ION battery
that lasts 8-hours and is field replaceable. The camera
also comes with a new AC Adapter for 110/220 VAC, 50/60
Hz power and 12-volt connectivity to a vehicle.
Images are processed and enhanced by the GasFindIR HSX
High Sensitivity Mode™ (HSM), which clearly shows
the presence of gases.
