Pinpoint Potential Problems in Explosive Environments Without the Paperwork
To inspect key machinery components in these challenging environments, thermal cameras are often used to identify hotspots, gauge the temperature of machinery and check that parts such as valves are operating within expected parameters. Unfortunately, these cameras pose an indirect risk to the facility's safety because they are not intrinsically safe by design – which is why hot work permits must be approved before use.
The FLIR Cx5 thermal camera is designed to provide safer inspections in hazardous locations. The rugged housing which encases the lithium-ion powered thermal camera ensures high-performance thermography without the inherent risk associated with non-intrinsically safe products.
Whether in hazardous locations dealing with gas, vapour, dust or combustible chemicals, it eliminates the need for hotwork permits.
With a 3.5in touchscreen interface that is simple to use, and the 160 × 120 thermal resolution reveals the accurate temperature measurement of nearby targets between -20 and 400°C.
