Safe and efficient gas leak detection for industrial applications
SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a warming potential that is is more than 23,000 times larger than CO₂ over a period of 100 years. It is widely used as an insulator in gas-insulated substations and circuit breakers within the power industry. With the portable FLIR G306 trace these leaks safe, fast and reliable on, with no impact on operational processes.

What gases does the FLIR G306 detect?
The FLIR G306 is designed to detect such things as:
- Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆)
- Ammonia (NH₃)
- Ethylene (C₂H₄)
- Other industrial gases (depending on spectral range)
Discover gas leaks before they pose a risk - with the FLIR G306, you detect emissions where others cannot.
