Thermography – FLIR GF309

SEEING IT THROUGH FLAMES The FLIR GF309 is an IR camera for the high-temperature measurement of industrial furnaces, chemical heaters, and coal-fired boilers, without the need to shut down the operation. The portable camera also greatly improves operator safety, by measuring through flames at a safe distance, for all types of furnaces. A good knowledge of the furnace condition can avert failures and unscheduled shutdowns.

Industrial furnaces, heaters, and boilers are found in the chemical, petrochemical, and utility industries.

  SPECIAL FEATURES See through flames

The GF309 is equipped with a special “flame filter” that allows you to see and measure high temperatures (up to +1500°C) through flames. Ideal for furnace and boiler inspections.


Wide temperature range

The FLIR GF309 visualizes temperatures from -20°C to +1,500°C. This makes the camera extremely suited for high temperature inspections.


Dual use

The FLIR GF309 can be used both for internal and external furnace and maintenance inspections and can make also the smallest of temperature differences clearly visible.


Heat shield

A nickel coated heat shield improves worker safety and comfort during inspection.


Available lenses

The FLIR GF309 comes either with a fixed 14.5° lens or with a fixed 24° lens. A version with interchangeable lenses is also available but requires a US Department of State license.


Cooled detector

The FLIR GF309 contains a cooled Indium Antimonite (InSb) detector. This highly sensitive detector is spectrally tuned to 3.8 – 4.05 micrometer waveband for seeing through flames.

The ultrasonic IRIS option is used to inspect a wide range of materials, including ferrous, nonferrous, and non-metallic tubing. This technique detects and sizes wall loss resulting from corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, cracking, and baffle cuts. Olympus digital IRIS inspection technology is used extensively as a prove-up technique for remote field testing, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current inspections.

Tube Inspection with Eddy Current Testing (ECT) – Olympus MS5800E  



OVERVIEW

• Condensers
• Feed water heaters
• Heat exchangers
• Air conditioners

Eddy current testing is a noncontact method used to inspect non-ferromagnetic tubing. This technique is suitable for detecting and sizing metal discontinuities such as corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, baffle cuts, wall loss, and cracks in nonferrous materials.










  Two coils are excited with an electrical current, producing a magnetic field around them. The magnetic fields penetrate the tube material and generate opposing alternating currents in the material. These currents are called eddy currents. Any defects that change the eddy current flow also change the impedance of the coils in the probe. These changes in the impedance of the coils are measured and used to detect defects in the tube. Four simultaneous frequencies per input. This feature allows for inspection speeds up to 2 m/s with four frequencies on absolute and differential channels, without signal distortion






SPECIAL FEATURES


• Electronic probe balancing.
• No separate external reference probe is required for absolute channel operation.
• 4 ECT inputs and up to 64 multiplexed channels. The MultiScan™ MS 5800E can support a large number of ECT channels to perform array probe inspections. Compared to single-channel inspection, the array probe technology allows for faster and easier surface coverage.












Tube Inspection with Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) – Olympus MS5800R  


Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a fast inspection technique, suitable for measuring wall loss and detecting sharp defects such as pitting, grooving, and circumferential cracks. MFL is effective for aluminum-finned carbon steel tubes, because the magnetic field is almost completely unaffected by the presence of such fins.
 
OVERVIEW

• Feed water heaters
• Air coolers
• Carbon steel heat exchangers


          
Tube Inspection with Remote Field Testing (RFT) – Olympus MS5800R 
  
OVERVIEW

• Boilers
• Feed water heaters
• Carbon steel heat exchangers

Remote field testing (RFT) is being used to successfully inspect ferromagnetic tubing such as carbon steel or ferrite stainless steel. This technology offers good sensitivity when detecting and measuring volumetric defects resulting from erosion, corrosion, wear, and baffle cuts.

Olympus remote field probes and the MultiScan™ MS 5800 are used all around the world to successfully inspect heat exchangers, feed water heaters, and boiler tubes.

RFT with up to four different frequencies and real-time mixes. This feature provides more flexibility for mixing and defect validation. The detection and sizing of flaws at the support plate is made easier with multi frequency inspections and dual-driver operations.

RFT with frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 250 kHz. The high frequency available with the MultiScan MS 5800R™ extends RFT inspection to thin materials with low permeability, such as 400-series stainless steel, and other ferromagnetic alloys.
