Methane leak detector Scout VGS 4500

vehicle-mount

The "Scout VGS 4500" can be used modularly with different vehicle types and is easy to operate. In the Peruvian desert, it has already proven its reliability and its enormous practicality under the most difficult environmental conditions. The above-ground inspection of the gas pipe network was previously carried out on foot using a carpet probe and measuring device, with which the underground pipes are checked. The vehicle-based measuring station "Scout VGS 4500" enables you to meet the requirements of the new set of rules on the go and much faster than before. It improves the known sensitivity many times over, thus significantly increasing the quality of the vehicle-based gas leak detection. Together with the specially developed system software, the documentation quality of the operation increases immensely The new "Scout VGS 4500" measuring station consists of several measuring probes mounted in front of the vehicle and can be attached to the front of different vehicles, such as pickups, quads or cars. The measuring cell is installed inside the vehicle and is connected to the probes via a suction hose. Any necessary adjustment of the probe distance to the ground surface can be done quickly in a few simple steps, and stowing the entire front probe is very easy. An innovative laser measuring system is used for methane gas detection, which enables a very high sampling rate and an equally high measuring sensitivity of 0.01 ppm. Because the laser is set to methane (CH4), there is no cross-sensitivity to other gases such as car exhaust, LPG or other hydrocarbon gases. The "Scout VGS 4500" measuring unit is operated and monitored with a tablet PC.
