Handheld Laser Methane Telemetry Instrument Overview
The S350AS Handheld Laser Methane Telemetry Instrument is a highly efficient device for detecting methane and methane-containing gases, such as natural gas. Utilizing Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), it provides rapid, accurate measurement of gas concentrations over long distances. It is especially useful for pinpointing gas leaks in pipelines and other hard-to-reach locations. The device emits both an infrared and a visible red laser for easy alignment with the detection point, and features a real-time display with sound and light alarms for high concentration levels.

Process / Working
The S350AS uses infrared lasers to detect methane concentrations in the air. The device measures the gas concentration by analyzing the absorption of the laser beam as it travels through the detected air mass. With the ability to measure over distances up to 200 meters, the instrument offers non-contact detection, making it suitable for hard-to-reach or hazardous environments. The instrument's real-time display shows the concentration, and when a high level is detected, the system triggers an audible and visible alarm. This ensures that personnel can take immediate action to address any gas leakage or potential hazards.
