1 INTRODUCTION
GAZOMAT™ has extended its range of laser spectroscopy based (Tunable diode Laser Absorption
Spectroscopy – TDLAS) gas detector with the GAZOSCAN™ detector.
GAZOSCAN™ is an ultra-light and highly sensitive handheld remote methane leak detector
(RMLD) which uses infrared lasers to remotely detect methane leaks. A smart sensor using infrared
(TDLAS) technology guarantees measurement efficiency.
GAZOSCAN™ comes with Bluetooth capability that can transfer measurement data in real-time to
a dedicated APP supplied on option. Users can use the APP to check, record and export the data.
Key features of a device with highly intuitive handling
Methane selectivity
Excellent detection at 100 meters (328 feet)
Detects through glass
5 ppm sensitivity per meter
Fast response time, 0.1s
Lightweight, 0.76kg (1.68lbs) with battery
Visual and audio alarms with configurable alarm threshold
Large color 2.8in LCD screen
Bluetooth® data transmission
Green guide laser light
Red dot sight for precise targeting in bright sunlight or ambient light
Purpose
Ultralight, compact and easy to use, the GAZOSCAN™ device is designed for rapidly inspecting
difficult-to-access installations and equipment in industrial sites. The GAZOSCAN™ is suited to
any situation where field technicians cannot operate close to the inspection zone:
Because it is not accessible – overhead installations…
Or for safety reasons.
IECEx and ATEX certified, it can be used in explosive atmospheres in confined and unconfined
areas.
Areas of application
The GAZOSCAN™ meets the safety and performance requirements of a large range of applications
including but not limited to:
1. Natural gas transmission and distribution pipeline leak inspection (inspection on street,
between buildings, inspection of overhead pipelines, valves, service galleries of bridges...)
2. Inspection of buildings (entrances, staircases, through windows) and fenced residential
properties
3. Safety of first responders’ interventions
4. Industrial site monitoring (refineries, natural gas production, processing and storage plants,
compression stations, injection/extraction wells…).
