Oil/Gas Safety: Seeing Invisible Hazards Stop Plant Explosions Before They Start

Article NEWS 479

Invisible Dangers Thermal Cameras Reveal:
✔ Gas leaks (shows as "cold clouds")
✔ Tank leaks (wet areas look different)
✔ Pump failures (abnormal heat patterns)

Why Workers Love These Tools:

  • Thermal imaging small cameras fit in tool belts

  • No need to shut down equipment

  • Takes 1/10th the time of old inspection methods

Case Study:
A refinery using infrared cameras thermal imaging found a leaking valve that standard checks missed. This prevented a potential $2M fire.

What Really Matters:
Beyond infrared imaging camera price, choose:
☑ Intrinsically safe models for hazardous areas
☑ At least 160x120 resolution
☑ 5+ hour battery life
