10 Tips for Getting the Most Out of an Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera
Introduction Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras use spectral wavelength filtering and Stirling cooler cold-filtering technology to visualize the infrared absorption of gases such as methane (CH4) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), carbon dioxide (CO2), and refrigerants. FLIR produces several camera models, each with a filter that matches the spectral absorption of the gas its meant to visualize. […]
