A Bold Step Forward Over Low-Fidelity, Acoustic Gas Leak Detectors

01 Aug, 2013

Published over 12 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Safety.

Det-tronics (USA) are proud to introduce the FlexSonic Acoustic Gas Leak Detector, the first non-contact gas leak detector of its kind that recognises 24 discrete ultrasound bands.

The FlexSonic detector features a high-fidelity microphone that continuously monitors for the distinct ultrasound emitted by pressurised gas leaks across the widest spectrum of frequencies. Unlike traditional, non-contact gas leak detectors, it can be programmed to ignore background noises, discerning between gas leaks and environmental noises, such as metal-on-metal contact, fans, machinery or vehicles.

Additional features: Detects leaks instantly in the harshest weather and environmental conditions; Onboard acoustic learn mode that detects real leaks and tunes out false positives; Removable micro-SD card that records the acoustic spectrum; Globally approved for all gas types; Certified SIL 2 Capable.
