4 Description

4.1 Function

The IRwin is a portable methane leak detector for gas pipeline survey. It measures

following gases depending on the leak detector version:

• Methane

• Carbon dioxide

• Ethane

• Propane

• Butane

• Oxygen

• Hydrogen sulfide

• Carbon monoxide

There are several probes available for the leak detector:

• The carpet probe is used for surveying paved or smooth surfaces. Pull or push the

carpet along the surface.

• Use the bell probe for measuring gas at specific points. Press the bell firmly down

to pull gas through the surface.

• The hand probe is used for checking features on or in buildings. The hand probe

also constitutes the handle for the carpet probe and bell probe.

• The Bar Hole probe is used to sample air from drilled holes. Push into hole and

tighten screw to expand rubber before connecting sample line.

• The optional Hand Probe Flexible Extension can be connected to the hand probe

or rod for easier access.

• The Swan Neck Probe is used on uneven surfaces and in bushes etc.

• The Flexi Bell is used for simple survey including meters and piping. The bell

adapts to pipe geometry.

INFICON single-cell

wide range technology

(patent pending)

IRwin methane leak detector uses the unique INFICON single-cell wide range

technology for detecting all concentrations from 1 ppm to 100 Vol% methane. This

technology is very sensitive to the ethane content of natural gas. Therefore, large

deviations can occur at higher methane concentrations if the ethane concentration is

not compensated for. The instrument has built-in routines for ethane compensation.

The actual ethane concentration can be determined using the IR Ethane Analysis

function. This can be used to automatically set the compensation concentration. If

preferred you can instead set the ethane content manually. The safety certified modes

Ex and Ex Tox are not affected by this phenomenon. See "IR Ethane Analysis and

compensation [
