Combination measuring instruments for every purpose

The survey of gas distribution networks is very complex and normally requires several instruments for various purposes. The following summary explains which type of instrument is most suitable for your particular application:

EX-TEC® SR 5 (Ex-protected)

EX-TEC® SR 5
  • Gas detection - above-ground gas indication in the survey of distribution networks (ppm range)

  • House service lines - location of leaks on lines inside buildings (vol. % range)

  • Controlling hollow spaces - survey on approaching the lower explosion level
    (%LEL range)

  • Localisation - measuring concentration in probe holes (vol. % range)

  • Gasing and inertisation - measuring concentration in pipes (vol. % range)

  • EX-TEC® SR 4 (Ex-protected)

    EX-TEC® SR 4
  • Controlling hollow spaces - survey on approaching the lower explosion level
    (%LEL range)

  • Localisation - measuring concentration in probe holes (vol.% range)

  • Gasing and inertisation - measuring concentration in pipes (vol.% range)

  • EX-TEC® SR 2 (Ex-protected)

    EX-TEC® SR 2
  • Localisation - measuring concentration in probe holes (vol.% range)

  • Gasing and inertisation - measuring concentration in pipes (vol.% range)

  • VARIOTEC® 8-EX (Ex-protected)

    VARIOTEC® 8-EX
  • Gas detection - above-ground gas indication in the survey of distribution networks (ppm range)

  • Localisation - measuring concentration in probe holes (vol.% range)

  • For the various applications there are also different types of probes availanle:

    Probes for the survey of gas distribution networks

    Carpet probe
    for the survey of paved surfaces, the probe is being sucked in without disturbing waste fumes via a neoprene mat covering the surface with a pressed-in dome. Bell probe, telescopic bell probe
    for the survey of unpaved or overgrown surfaces, enabling freedom for movement (e.g. between parking vehicles or in front yards). These probes are suitable for the EX-TEC® SR 5 and VARIOTEC® 8-EX.
    Probes for network survey


    Probes for localisation

    Localisation probe
    for measuring concnetration in probe holes, with a hard rubber cone to seal the probe hole, 2 different pipe tips (245 mm or 345 mm length), sodium lime filter to eliminate CO2 in gas probes. The search probe is suitable for all instruments from the EX-TEC® SR and VARIOTEC® range.
    Localisation probes


    Probes for localisation and controlling hollow spaces

    Floating probe
    for measuring concentrations in pits, with suction vent and hose connection.
    Floating probe


    Divisible hand probe
    for the detection of leaks in pipes installed in poorly accessible places, measuring of concentration in containers, overall lentgh 900 mm. These probes are suitable for the EX-TEC® SR 5, EX-TEC® SR 4 and EX-TEC® SR 2 instruments
    Divisible hand probe


    Probes for house service lines

    Flexible hand probes
    for the detection of leaks in house service lines, handle with flexible swan neck and probe hose, overall length 360 mm or 660 mm. These probes are suitable for the EX-TEC® SR 5 only.
    Flexible hand probes


    Test sets

    Test sets According to DVGW-Regulation G465/IV all instruments which are used for regular gas leak detection have to be checked daily in respect of sensitivity before such work is carried out. This control entails the gasing from a pressure test gas can (or bottle, resp.) and also the control of the pump capacity with a flow meter. For these purposes there are several test sets and test gas cans available.
