Leak detection work looks different from one job to the next. Some days call for walking leak surveys. Some call for remote investigation. Others require multi-gas monitoring while crews are working around potential hazards.
That is why it helps to have options.
SENSIT has been building gas detection instruments for more than 40 years, with a focus on helping crews find leaks quickly, confidently, and safely. Their equipment is built for real field use, and their team understands the kind of reliability natural gas crews count on every day.
Here are a few SENSIT tools we think are worth a closer look if your team wants equipment that supports the way natural gas crews actually work.
Start with the PMD2 for Methane Leak Surveys
The SENSIT PMD2 portable methane detector is a strong fit for walking natural gas leak surveys. It is compact, lightweight, and designed to help crews survey, pinpoint, and grade methane leaks with the speed, sensitivity, and field data support they need.
Methane-selective TDLAS technology helps crews focus on methane detection with reduced cross-sensitivity from other gases. That matters when your team is trying to move efficiently and trust what the instrument is telling them.
The PMD2 also supports the work beyond detection. With GPS, datalogging, and mapping, crews can capture better field data to support documentation and next steps. That data trail can make a real difference when teams are reviewing survey work, planning follow-up, or looking for ways to improve productivity without losing confidence in the work.
Add the LZ30 when Access is the Challenge
Some leak investigations are not as simple as walking right up to the area in question. Crews may be dealing with elevated locations, fenced-in property, restricted access, or a spot where getting close to the gas plume is not the safest or most efficient option.
The SENSIT LZ30 remote methane laser is built for those situations. It provides fast, accurate readings from a distance of up to 100 feet and uses TDLAS technology to respond to methane gas. That gives crews a way to investigate hard-to-reach areas without always needing direct access.
The LZ30 is a helpful tool for leak investigation, pinpointing, and grading when crews need more distance between themselves and the area being investigated. It gives them another way to keep the work moving while helping crews maintain distance when the situation calls for it.
Turn to the GOLD 3 for Multi-Gas Work
The SENSIT GOLD 3 is a multi-gas detector designed for leak investigation, pinpointing, and grading. It supports a wide range of natural gas field applications, especially when crews need more than methane detection alone.
Crews can configure it with up to five sensors for combustible gases, toxic gases, and oxygen. It is well suited for locating above and below ground gas leaks, confined space monitoring, pipeline purging, leak survey work, and other utility applications.
The SENSIT GOLD 3 also brings helpful field features like GPS, datalogging, mapping capabilities, improved durability, and pump performance monitoring. Those details matter when work needs to be documented clearly and handled with confidence.
Don’t Overlook Personal Monitoring
Leak detection tools get a lot of attention, but personal gas monitoring is just as important when crews are working around potential hazards.
The SENSIT P100 is a rugged single-gas personal monitor built for harsh field conditions. It is designed for simple operation, dependable field use, and clear alerts when conditions change.
The P100 offers audible, visual, and vibration alarms so workers can quickly recognize when action may be needed. Its rugged housing and straightforward operation make it a practical choice for crews that need personal monitoring without adding unnecessary complexity to the day.
A Strong Lineup for Natural Gas Crews
Every crew works a little differently, and no single instrument fits every job. That is why it helps to start with the application and work back to the right tool.
The PMD2 is built for walking methane leak surveys. The LZ30 is a strong option when crews need remote methane detection for hard-to-reach areas. The GOLD 3 supports multi-gas work above and below ground. The P100 helps cover personal monitoring when crews are working around potential hazards.
SENSIT gives natural gas crews a solid range of tools to support the work they are already doing every day. GROEBNER can help you compare the options, talk through where each one fits, and find the right solution for your team.
