Next Generation LaserMethane & Inspection Management Service assists you in managing leaks until completion of repair work.  Now with a camera to shoot an inspection point with measured value, and a communication device to automatically output its data to the cloud server. Also, the Laser Methane Smart is designed to reduce methane emissions to the environment.

Benefits

• Reliability – No moving parts and no gas suction in principle, require little maintenance. Self-check and automatic calibration on start-up — ensures accurate and reliable gas leak detection.
• Remote detection – Searching range 30m keeps operators away from harm. Green guide laser light gives clear visibility of the searching point even under bright sunshine.
• Persuasive evidence – Laser co-axis digital camera records photos of inspection points. Storing data on a cloud server secures measurement data and the photos via Android or IOS devices.
• User-friendly – Point-and-shoot technology requires little or no training to use. The weight is only 500g, including batteries.

Technical Overview

The measurement principle of this equipment uses the characteristics of methane, which absorbs the laser beam (infrared rays) of a specific wavelength (infrared absorption technology). The laser beam directed at targets such as gas piping, the ground, overhead pipe, etc., will reflect back a diffused beam from the target. The device will receive the reflected beam and will measure the absorptivity of the beam, which will then be calculated into methane column density (ppm-m).
