Since establishment in 2017, FGD’s team of industry experts and engineers have developed and brought to market a line of advanced IR3 and UV-IR flame detectors. The objective of the company is to address the industry’s needs and requirements to constantly improve its safety by increasing the performance and reliability of its detection systems.
Flame Detectors
FlameSpec-IR3-HD
Triple IR (IR3) Flame Detector
The FlameSpec-IR3-HD flame detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance, and reliable detection of all types of hydrocarbon fires (visible and non-visible). The detector addresses slow-growing fires as well as fast eruption of fire using improved triple IR (IR3) technology. It operates in all weather and light conditions with the highest immunity to false alarms.
