Handheld Gas Leak Inspection System

Visually indicates detected gas leaks to allow immediate response.

Handheld Gas Leak Inspection Systems

This handheld gas leak inspection system uses IR and visible light cameras for gas leak imaging.
Through utilization of a Konica Minolta lens design and image processing, high-sensitivity leak detection is performed, followed by overlaying the source of the leak on the image from the visible light camera for leak identification. The system can detect various hydrocarbon gases and is useful in many ways, including simplifying maintenance through digital transformation, helping inspectors check aging equipment, and detecting any leaks after equipment repairs.

When used in conjunction with devices that expand its core functionality, the unit can be used to estimate leak flow rates.

Highlights

Intuitive tool that allows any user to grasp conditions at the site of a gas leak
Can also warn users of leaks automatically

Light and compact for handheld shooting
Image stabilization is also available, to reduce image noise in handheld shooting

Principle

Applications

More efficient routine inspections

Several inspection areas can be checked at once to quickly identify any leaks.
Disaster assessment

In the event of an emergency, gas imaging helps ensure safety for responders.
Inspections following regular maintenance

Following confirmation of airtightness, suitable for final inspections when pressurizing equipment for production

Quickly Locate Leaks on the Monitor

Invisible gases are visualized on the camera monitor, making it easy to find leaks. Leaks can be located even more reliably by switching imaging modes to suit conditions such as weather, time of day, or site.
