Portable TDLAS Methane Leak Detector with Probe for Natural Gas Inspection

G10 Portable TDLAS Methane Leak Detector with Probe

The G10 is a portable laser gas detection instrument designed for combustible natural gas leak inspections and industrial gas monitoring. Combining TDLAS sensing technology with an integrated sampling pump and probe-based sampling, it helps technicians investigate suspected leak locations and evaluate gas concentrations directly in the field.

Its portable configuration supports flexible inspection workflows, making it suitable for routine pipeline surveys, targeted leak checks, and maintenance activities across natural gas infrastructure and industrial facilities.

Probe-Based Sampling for Targeted Leak Inspection

The G10 uses an integrated gas pump to draw samples through a suitable sampling probe, allowing operators to examine specific locations during leak investigations. This approach is useful for checking accessible pipe connections, valves, joints, utility installations, and other potential leak points.

An efficient filtration system supports the sampling process, helping the instrument operate across a range of field inspection conditions. The probe-based design also allows technicians to investigate selected areas without placing the entire instrument directly at the sampling point.

TDLAS Technology for Selective Methane Detection

The G10 applies Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to detect methane based on its characteristic optical absorption properties. The instrument analyzes changes in laser light intensity associated with methane absorption and uses this information to determine gas concentration.

This laser-based approach supports selective methane measurement for natural gas leak investigations, helping operators assess suspected leak indications in pipelines, industrial environments, and utility infrastructure.

Automatic Self-Calibration and Measurement Stability

The G10 features a built-in gas reference that supports continuous self-calibration during operation. This design helps maintain measurement consistency and reduces the need for frequent manual calibration interventions, subject to the instrument's operating conditions and maintenance requirements.

Together with its integrated sampling system, the reference function supports practical measurement workflows for technicians conducting regular gas leak inspections.

Real-Time Readings with Multiple Concentration Units

The instrument provides real-time gas concentration readings to help operators evaluate changing methane levels during field investigations. Its display supports ppm, %LEL, and %VOL formats, giving users flexibility when reviewing measurements for different inspection and reporting requirements.

By displaying measurement results on site, the G10 helps technicians assess potential leak indications and determine whether further inspection or confirmatory testing is needed.

Flexible Deployment for Field Operations

Designed for portable use, the G10 can be operated with a sampling probe or configured for compatible trolley-based or electric-bicycle-mounted workflows. These options support different inspection environments, from targeted component checks to broader surveys across accessible pipeline routes.

Its adaptable configuration makes the instrument suitable for utility maintenance teams, industrial inspectors, and field technicians who require a practical gas detection solution.
