ATEX approved laser methane detector

28 July 2008

Crowcon Detection Instruments has launched the LaserMethane mini methane leak detector.
At just 600g, the LaserMethane mini (LMm) is lightweight and compact, providing users with a instrument capable of detecting ppm levels of methane from up to 100 metres. With advances including automatic ranging, colour LCD, five hour battery, extended temperature range and IP54, and utilises the next generation of tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy.

ATEX approval allows the LMm to be used in Zone 1 areas. The LMm uses a laser diode tuned to the characteristics of methane, and the level of this gas is then displayed on the ppm.m readout. The instrument performs a self check on start-up and verifies the operation and calibration of the laser diode by referencing an inbuilt methane cell.
