QED Environmental Systems has launched the next generation popular Huberg Metrex gas detection instrument.
The new solution is ATEX rated and designed for pre-localisation, localisation and classification of leaks in natural gas distribution networks.
A robust design and intuitive user interface ensures the new tool is ideal for first responder technicians who handle suspected gas leaks. Other key applications include bar hole gas measurement testing, purged gas lines and enclosed space monitoring.
The new product is significantly reduced in size compared to its predecessor and is also 50% lighter. It features ten-hour battery life and an easy to read and navigate LCD display. Gas measurements are displayed on screen to the user and easy to understand. The IP65 certified ingress rating adds to the robustness of the instrument when operating it in adverse weather conditions.
ATEX certified (II 2 G Ex db ib IIB T4 Gb) it has been classified to be safely operated in designated hazardous locations. Unlike traditional flame ionisation detectors, the new Metrex does not require a technician to carry calibration gas cylinders as it can perform a user calibration in air.
