IRwin Mobile Methane Leak Detector

IRwin Methane Leak Detector
IRwin® Methane Leak Detector is an innovative, portable natural gas detector for easy gas pipe survey and gas leak detection. It is developed in accordance with many national directives, such as the DVGW (Deutscher Verband des Gas- und Wasserfaches) directive. The IRwin SX-models are certified for use in Zone 0, classification Ex II 1G, Ex ia IIC T3 Ga.

The integrated proprietary infrared sensor system (patents pending) has a very short reaction and recovery time. The system prevents false leak alarms and ensures correct and fast leak evaluation. IRwin® is able to measure methane according to the traditional operating modes required by DVGW G 465-4, such as “Inspection above-ground” and “Measuring bar holes”.The range is from 1 ppm to 100 Vol. %.

IRwin® Methane Leak Detector – together with an innovative probe system specially designed for natural gas leak detection – allows for easy and effective survey of gas pipelines. The Mono-wheeler Carpet Probe (patent pending), with locking mechanism, has been developed for maximum convenience in all survey situations (under cars, over fences, on gas surface boxes etc).

Features

  • Methane-specific measurement with IR-technology
  • 100% distinction between natural gas and marsh gas
  • No manual switching through universal measuring mode (1ppm – 100 Vol % for CH4)
  • High sensitivity, quick reaction and short recovery time thanks to the integrated proprietary IR sensor technology
  • Water protection IP65
  • Measurements possible even in extreme environments because of its robust housing
  • Integrated GPS chip allows reliable location tracking
  • Wireless communication system for easy data transfer
  • Light and easy to move around for maximum ergonomics
  • Modular, light and innovative accessories
