IRwin®
Methane LeakDetector
Innovation makes the difference

The IRwin intelligence
In order to avoid misleading
measurements or false alarms,
IRwin features an infrared sensor
in combination with a special gas
filter (patent pending). It evenprevents interference from watervapor, ethanol or exhaust gases.

Innovative methane detector systemfor easy survey of gas pipelines
IRwin is a portable methane leakdetector for fast and easy survey of gas
pipelines. This multi-function instrument
efficiently operates on different surfaces
and situations during survey, is highly
sensitive, responds quickly and has
a short recovery time. It is certified
intrinsically safe, with TÜV® certified
capability for LEL, oxygen and toxic gas
measurements. The IRwin SX-models

Designed for optimized ergonomics andgood weight distribution.

are rated explosion-proof for Zone 0
applications, holding several nationaland international certificates.
FAST GAS ANALYSISEVEN AT LOW ETHANE
CONCENTRATIONSThe specially developed gas chromato­graph (GC) and sensor combination allows
near real-time distinction between swamp
gas and natural gas. This helps operators
to rapidly determine if the detected gas
comes from a leaking pipe, from othernatural gas sources or from swamp gas.
The GC inside IRwin delivers fast test
results, even at low ethane (from 0.5%)
concentrations.

Efficient gas determination in the field.

LIGHTWEIGHT SYSTEMFOR COMFORTABLE USE
ON LONG DAYS
IRwin is light (1.6 kg, 3.5 lb) and portablefor optimum comfort. The instrument andits accessories have been developed
for mobile use in demanding conditions.
In particular, its modular probe system
reduces the number of items the operator
needs to carry during pipeline survey.
Thanks to quick install fittings, the user
can easily apply the correct probe for thespecific working situation.

Route walked by the operator can bevisualized on GIS.

SURVEY TRACKING WITH
INTEGRATED GPSDocumenting survey work minimizes
risks for operator mistakes. Thanks to theintegrated GPS, the route walked by theoperator will be visualized on geographic
information systems (GIS) for easy
survey tracking. GPS data and survey
measurements are transferred from the
instrument to a computer wireless via
Bluetooth® technology.
