An in-depth article from FLIR Systems describes how its GF320 Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera can be used to more quickly and safely identify hydrocarbon gas venting to the atmosphere in order to reduce product loss and help meet regulatory emission reduction requirements.
In addition to regulatory compliance issues, high level of hydrocarbon gas emissions equates to significant lost product for oil and gas operators.
As a consequence, the oil and gas industry have been looking at how to best find and repair natural gas leaks at...

Sensata Technologies announced the availability of the new Low Noise (LN) series of panel mounted solid state relays designed for use in a wide range of consumer and industrial systems and products where precise power control, long life, reliability and reduced levels of electromagnetic noise are required.
Instead of using moving components as mechanical power relays do, solid state relays rely on silicon-controlled rectifier technology which allows SSRs to provide quieter operation (no clicking), longer life, as well as more precise switching control.
The...
The digital Mass Flow Meters and Controllers of Bronkhorst’s IN-FLOW series can be used to accurately measure and control gas flows from 1 mln/min up to 11.000 m3n/h with high accuracy and excellent repeatability.
The instruments are of rugged design (IP65) for use in pilot and production plants in industrial environments or even Zone 2 hazardous areas, with optional ATEX Category 3 or FM Class I Division 2 approval.
With pressure ratings up to 700 bar and many analog and digital (fieldbus) I/O options, IN-FLOW...
Hydraulic presses use a hydraulic cylinder to generate large mechanical forces. Utilizing Pascal’s law, in which pressure applied to a confined fluid occurs throughout the fluid, hydraulic presses apply a moderate mechanical force to a small cross-sectional area, which is transferred to a larger cross-sectional area in the hydraulic cylinder. This allows for the hydraulic cylinder to generate a greater pressure to the application than what was applied.
Hydraulic presses are used in many manufacturing operations and take up less space than mechanical presses. Commonly, they are...
FLIR System's GF620 Optical Gas Imaging camera is helping inspectors to remotely survey for fugitive gas emissions from safer distances than is possible with lower-resolution OGI cameras.
The GF620 is equipped with a 640x480 infrared detector, the camera is calibrated to measure temperature, allowing the user to assess the thermal contrast between the gas and the background scene, and adjust it to improve visibility.
The FLIR GF620 also features the company’s unique high sensitivity mode, which accentuates plume movement to improve detectability...
