Working Principle
Leakplotter is a tool understanding that complies with the requirements for economic details in pipe degraded networks driving on a buried gas pipeline.

The total system is designed in a modular manner and so pracitically every lane of the base vehicle is suitable for this purpose.

Light gases escape a leak - as well as in the ground and diffuse funnel-shaped along the surface. A sample is taken while driving on the gas pipes and the measurement is transferred to the insert. In the diffused funnel the result is shown as the leak and being recorded by the notebook.

System check
Insert measuring conniction automatic survey
Permanent survey of FID pump flow and flame status
Permanent survey and pressure gauge in fuel and test gas bottle
Automatic zero point adjustment
automatic first igniton
Manual ignition after "flame over" signal due to high gas concentration

Data collection
Real speed and concentration perpetual record
Display of all relevant data on the main screen such as speed, concentration and alarm level.
Comments can be entered directly during measurement
The actual measured concentration is constantly displayed

data archive
Viewer mode allows comparing different measurements taken
Recorded data stored in a database for later treatment
Description of metrics met locatin, date and Controller
Appropriate order to choose
Searh funcntion is implemented

Measurement Tool
In general almost any tool can be as gradual as being a Leakplotter, but due to their size there can be many of the problems in everyday use in towns

With the new SMART, these problems are solved. Because a length of only 2.50 meters and 1.51 meters wide, this car can pass even the smallest possible roads, driving on pavements.

Smart tow avilable with different engine:
600 ccm 33 kW gaseline or
600 ccm 40 kW gasoline

A huge range of features is already included in the basic equipment. Also available as accessories. For more information, see the brochure supplied with this tool.

probe system
Two joint Suction beam, connected by quick coupling
8 rubber bells with beam probe filters and hose connection
Corrosive height adjuctable, vehicle bumper mount
Plastic hose with additional filters and water separator, connected to measuring insert

Add Measurement
The 19" rack, carrying all components, is mounted on the vehicle meeting customers' requirements.

Primary Pump
12V operated
80L/h flow
bypass system to receive primary current probe

FID unit:
sensitivity: 1 ppm methane
response time: <5 sec.
linear concentration-correlated signal

Display and keyboard
large, backlit LCD display
Remote control in case of PC malfunction

Notebook / Printer
Meeting the latest state of the art. Please ask us for the actual type of Notebook in case of interest in an order.

If you decide to use your own PC plsease contact us to check the recommended system requirements. Software and total system check will be done after all components are installed.

The printer will also discuss the latest state of the art.
