FLIR Si1-LD Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera
The FLIR Si1-LD is a handheld acoustic imaging camera designed to quickly detect and quantify compressed air leaks in industrial environments. With high-sensitivity MEMS microphones and real-time acoustic imaging, it allows you to pinpoint leaks even in noisy settings. Built for ease of use and efficient reporting, it's the ideal tool for maintenance and energy-saving operations.
Designed for fast, reliable leak detection, the FLIR Si1-LD acoustic imaging camera is a powerful tool for maintenance teams, manufacturing facilities, and plant engineers. Its lightweight, ergonomic design makes one-handed operation easy, while a precise array of MEMS microphones captures high-frequency sound data with exceptional sensitivity. By overlaying the acoustic image onto a digital photo in real time, the camera allows you to accurately locate the source of compressed air leaks—even in loud, complex environments—reducing inspection time and improving reliability.
The Si1-LD isn’t just for detection; it also supports in-depth analysis and documentation. Users can quantify leak-related losses on-site or export images to FLIR Thermal Studio Suite for advanced offline reporting. For quick field access, the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service offers additional options for review and sharing. With simple data transfer via USB or memory stick, the Si1-LD makes it easy to implement a regular maintenance routine—helping reduce operational costs, improve energy efficiency, and support environmental goals.
