Abstract: Raythink thermal camera, the “detective hat” of the oil and gas industry! The little secrets inside the pipeline? One it scans, and all the “hot” spots are revealed!
Oil and gas storage facilities and pipelines are prone to leaks due to aging, corrosion, improper operation, or natural disasters. Once oil or gas encounters a fire source or high-temperature environment, it can easily cause fires or explosions.
Applications of Raythink thermal cameras in oil and gas storage and pipeline transportation offers significant advantages and importance. These cameras can monitor the operating status of facilities in real time, intuitively locate fault points, improve detection efficiency, and prevent accidents. By doing so, they ensure the safety and stability of oil and gas storage and pipeline transportation.
Thermal Imaging Application
1. Detection of Oil and Gas Storage Tanks
Storage tanks are indispensable core facilities for petrochemical enterprises, containing a large number of Class A and Class B hazardous items. An accident can result in severe casualties and property losses, with disastrous consequences.
The industrial handheld temperature measurement thermal camera RM620 is crucial for conducting hidden danger detection and routine inspection anytime and anywhere. It can directly detect the liquid level in the tank to prevent accidents such as empty tanks or overflows. Additionally, the health status of the tank can be assessed through the thermal distribution of the tank body, accurately locating leakage points or areas where the insulation layer has fallen off. Furthermore, the thermal camera can detect the amount and location of sediment in the tank, providing strong data support for supervisors and ensuring the long-term safe operation of the tank.
With an industrial handheld temperature measurement thermal camera RM620, hidden danger detection and routine inspection can be carried out anytime and anywhere.
2. Detection of Pipeline Transportation
The use of thermal cameras for pipeline fault detection can accurately identify hidden dangers such as blockages, thinning, corrosion, and leaks, effectively preventing potential damage to the environment and personnel. Additionally, thermal cameras can detect and evaluate the thermal insulation performance of pipelines. Through accurate data analysis, they can help reduce energy consumption and achieve significant energy-saving benefits.
By deploying and installing the online dual-spectrum light type PTZ camera PC264T1, 360° autonomous patrol inspection can be achieved, allowing for real-time, all weather monitoring of key locations such as pipelines and corners. If leakage, corrosion, or other abnormal conditions occur, the system will promptly issue a warning and quickly and accurately locate the fault point. This effectively reduces the occurrence of safety accidents and ensures the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system.

3. Detection of Key Component Including Valves and Flanges
Key components including valves and flanges play an important role in oil and gas storage and transportation. A failure or leakage in these components can significantly impact the entire system’s operation. Hence, regular and effective detection is crucial. The industrial handheld temperature measurement thermal camera RS1280, with a resolution of 1280×1024, displays detailed temperature distribution with high resolution. It can quickly and accurately detect the temperature of valves, flanges, and other components from a long distance to identify faults such as leaks.
Additionally, using a handheld thermal camera allows professionals to measure the temperature of the valve without physical contact, thus avoiding safety risks associated with improper operation. You can also use Raythink Technology’s professional TI Studio series analysis software to collect and analyze component temperature data in real-time. This software helps predict possible failures or hidden dangers, allowing for proactive maintenance or replacement measures.
Industrial handheld temperature measurement thermal camera RS1280 offers a high-resolution display of temperature detail distribution.
Thermal cameras play an important role in oil and gas storage and transportation. We will continue to innovate infrared technology to provide more intuitive and accurate temperature distribution information. This advancement will facilitate the timely detection and repair of leaks and fault points, reduce energy waste and environmental pollution, and improve the overall efficiency of oil and gas storage and transportation.
