The MFE Detect MW (MFE OGI) includes a built-in RGB Camera and a suite of advanced image processing functions, including automatic gain and dynamic contrast control, delivering visual acuity to operators for efficient leak detection and remediation.

MFE Detect MW FAQs

Find answers to common questions about the MFE Detect MW, including its features, capabilities, and applications.

How does the MFE Detect MW compare to the FLIR GF320 in terms of resolution?

The MFE Detect MW has a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels, which is twice the resolution of the FLIR GF320 (320 x 240 pixels), allowing for clearer images. While the FLIR GF320 has a slightly wider field of view with its 23mm lens, the MFE Detect MW offers a narrower field of view with its 50mm lens, enabling it to capture finer details from further distances.

How does quad-O compliance relate to the MFE Detect MW, and why is it important?

Quad-O compliance is specific to oil and gas facilities as of 2012. For cameras operating within the mid-wavelength range, compliance means they must be able to visualize 500 parts per million for positive identification of a gas leak.

Does the MFE Detect MW require maintenance?

The MFE Detect MW features a miniature, long-life, closed-cycle Stirling cooler. Cooled cameras like the MFE Detect MW may require cryocooler rebuilds after 10,000 to 13,000 hours of operation.

How does the detection range of the MFE Detect MW support the identification of VOCs in industrial settings?

The MFE OGI operates in the mid-wavelength infrared range (3 to 5 micrometers), which is ideal for detecting hydrocarbon gas leaks with high sensitivity in industrial environments.
