C10F Portable TDLAS Laser Methane Leak Detector with Internal Pump

C10F Portable Laser Methane Leak Detector with Internal Pump

Product Overview

The C10F Portable Laser Methane Leak Detector from AiLF Instruments is a handheld gas detection device designed for natural gas pipeline inspections, petrochemical facilities, and industrial safety monitoring. Featuring an integrated sampling pump and advanced Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, the C10F delivers fast and reliable methane detection across a wide concentration range.

Supporting readings in ppm, %LEL, and %VOL, with a detection range of 0–100% VOL, the C10F helps inspection professionals identify methane leaks efficiently and assess gas concentrations in different working environments.

Key Features and Benefits

1. TDLAS Laser Detection Technology

The C10F uses advanced TDLAS technology to detect methane with high precision and stable performance. Its laser-based detection principle supports reliable measurements for routine gas leak inspections and industrial monitoring.

2. Full-Range Methane Concentration Measurement

With a measurement range of 0–100% VOL, the C10F supports concentration readings in ppm, %LEL, and %VOL. This flexibility allows operators to evaluate methane concentrations across different inspection scenarios.

3. Built-In Pump for Convenient Gas Sampling

The integrated sampling pump draws gas into the detector for measurement. The rear EZG gas interface also allows convenient connection to compatible accessories, including a gooseneck and sampling probe, making it easier to adapt the instrument to different inspection requirements and perform filter replacement and inspection.

4. Automatic Self-Calibration

The C10F features a built-in gas reference that supports continuous self-calibration during operation, helping maintain measurement accuracy and stability. Its laser-based detection technology is designed to reduce dependence on traditional sensor elements that may deteriorate or become disabled over time.

5. Bluetooth Connectivity and Data Management

The detector supports Bluetooth connectivity with the AlphaOne inspection app for convenient field inspection and data management. It can also support integration with external or user-specific information platforms, helping streamline inspection workflows.

6. IP66 Protection and Explosion Protection

With an IP66 protection rating, the C10F is designed to withstand dust exposure and water jets under specified test conditions. Its Ex ib IIC T3 explosion protection classification makes it suitable for applicable hazardous-area operations when used in accordance with its certification requirements.

The instrument is designed for use in a variety of environments, including indoor facilities, outdoor sites, stations, and pipeline inspection locations.

7. Long Operating Endurance and Type-C Charging

The C10F features a rechargeable, low-temperature-resistant battery pack, a Type-C interface, and fast-charging capability. These features support extended field inspections, including operations in cold environments.
