The INSPECTRA® LASER IECEx equipment by GAZOMAT™ is a high-performance methane detector offering all the advantages of laser measurement technology. The device meets latest IECEx and ATEX standards for use in explosive atmospheres. It detects methane and locates leaks with precision, across a wide measurement range, down to the smallest concentrations. It is ideal for the monitoring of natural gas and biogas facilities and pipelines.

 

  • Total selectivity to methane - it’s insensitive to other hydrocarbon gases, chemicals, water vapours and pollution
  • Unique measuring precision and reliability
  • 1 ppm sensitivity (CH4) thanks to the path length of the multipass cell
  • Two measurement scales with simultaneous display
    - PPM scale from 0 ppm to 10,000 ppm
    - GAS scale: from 0 % to 100 % volume gas
  • Zone 1, IECEx and ATEX certified, can be used safely indoors and outdoors in explosive atmospheres
  • Easy to use with a very quick response time
  • Wild scope of application suitable for any application requiring the measurement of methane and biomethane concentrations
  • Visual and audio indicators (battery charge level, pump status, alarm on/off, risk of explosion etc)
  • Traceability of surveys with the GazoSurvey survey software installed on a mobile
  • Phone/tablet with integrated GPS receiver
