DESCRIPTION:

The FLIR G343 is a professional Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera engineered specifically for the visual detection of carbon dioxide (CO2) leaks. Using a cooled Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector operating within the 4.2 to 4.4 um spectral band, the camera enables maintenance engineers and inspection professionals to safely locate otherwise invisible CO2 emissions without interrupting industrial operations.

The G343 is ideally suited for carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) systems, hydrogen-cooled electrical generators, beverage production plants, chemical processing facilities, and other industrial applications where carbon dioxide is produced, transported, or stored. Its patented High Sensitivity Mode (HSM) significantly improves gas plume visibility, allowing inspectors to identify even small leaks quickly and efficiently.

The 14.5 deg motorised lens provides a narrow field of view for long-range inspections and detailed imaging of valves, flanges, piping, compressors, storage vessels, and process equipment. The camera also features FLIR's rotating 4-inch touchscreen, integrated OLED viewfinder, autofocus, laser pointer, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and FLIR Ignite cloud connectivity for efficient inspection workflows and reporting.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the G343 supports radiometric thermal imaging alongside gas visualisation, allowing users to perform thermal inspections and CO2 leak surveys using a single handheld instrument. Inspection Route functionality, voice annotation, image sketching, and cloud synchronisation further streamline predictive maintenance and environmental compliance programmes.
