InfraGauge is a brand-new company with one very important goal in mind: improving the safety of employees working in the oil and gas industry. Gauging is one of the most dangerous activities performed in the industry, and it’s claimed numerous lives through asphyxiation, slips, falls, explosions, and more.
InfraGauge has partnered with FLIR®, a global leader in infrared technology, to bring you this revolutionary application, allowing a user to do his or her job safer.
The InfraGauge application serves to allow employees to take infrared snapshots of tanks from a distance and then allows him or her to gauge the tank using the application. This eliminates exposure to harmful fumes, ignition sources, (including static electricity), the need for self-grounding, and the risks associated with climbing stairs in all weather conditions.
InfraGauge was created by pumpers for pumpers who have experienced the tedious act of tank gauging, which means every consideration has been made along the way. Though safety is the company’s main motivation, it focuses on all aspects of the oil and gas industry, including reducing overhead costs while increasing revenue, boosting workplace efficiency, providing more accurate record keeping, and improving communication across the board.
The application uses infrared imaging technology to compare temperature differences, which can provide an incredibly accurate measurement without the need to climb tanks or rely on sub-par/unreliable technologies like floats or guided wave radar TLI’s. Instead, a simple photograph is all it takes to provide 100% reliable information in real time. The photographs can be used to update records, and then can be shared with anyone, anywhere.
InfraGauge was also designed to be affordable enough for oil and gas companies of any size to use. This means whether a company has 10 employees or 10,000, there’s a plan that will provide safety for a nominal fee. It benefits large corporations, smaller oil and gas businesses, and every single employee working for those companies, too.
The team at InfraGauge is eager to solve today’s tank gauging problems, and it is proud to play such an important role in saving lives around the world. It’s a low-cost, low-risk alternative to every other tank gauging option available, which makes it a necessity for any company in the oil and gas industry.
