Versatile and Portable Gas Detector for Simultaneous Measurements

The Gas Sniper Portable Gas Detector, from Matheson Gas (USA), has the capability to monitor up to 6 gases simultaneously and is ideal for performing EPA Method 21 fugitive emission monitoring of volatile organic compound (VOC) leaks from process equipment. Potential leak sources include: Valves, seals, drains, other connections, Pressure relief devices and vents and Pumps and compressors. 

The Gas Sniper detects and monitors a wide range of standard gases including many toxic gases. In addition, the Gas Sniper’s ability to simultaneously detect up to ‘6’ gases provides users with the ability to configure multiple gas monitoring combinations never before offered in a portable gas monitor. For quick response and recovery from distant sampling locations, the Gas Sniper utilizes an internal pump to draw samples up to 125 feet and utilises hydrophobic filters to prevent moisture contamination. The Gas Sniper will continuously operate for up to 30 hours on alkaline batteries or 18 hours on Ni-Cad batteries. A high resolution LCD screen provides easy viewing of all measurements, alarms and operating status. The Gas Sniper offers convenient access to all control functions such as auto-calibration, alarm silence, demand zero, peak hold and other features. Each standard gas monitoring channel has ‘2’ alarm levels (setpoints) plus TWA and STEL alarms for the toxic channels. The alarm levels are adjustable and can be latching or self-resetting. The Gas Sniper is furnished with several standard accessory items including: shoulder strap, alkaline batteries, hydrophobic probe, sampling hose, internal hydrophobic filter, and instruction manual. Certain toxic gas applications are equipped with a special probe, inlet fitting and teflon sampling hose (for HF and O3 versions, the Teflon hose is used without a probe).
