New detector improves reliability of gas network surveys

The reliability of gas network surveys is set to improve with the new IRwin methane leak detector and probe system from INFICON.The system’s highly sensitive IR sensor reacts fast to presence of natural gas and recovers quickly after exposure. This minimises the risk of an operator missing a leak during a survey. Concentrations as low as 1 ppm can be measured.  The detector is connected to an ergonomically designed, mono-wheel carpet probe. This helps the operator to easily follow the kerb or cracks in the pavement. The carpet probe is designed to cover large paved surfaces but can, with
