Innovation that simplifies every step

IRwin Universal Mode left w ex symbol

The IRwin® Methane Leak Detector is a portable, innovative infrared leak detector for fast and accurate natural gas leak detection. It features a four-gas meter, LEL meter, and infrared sensor system for quick response, preventing false alarms during natural gas leak detection and enabling precise leak evaluation.

Its built-in gas chromatograph (GC) distinguishes natural gas from swamp gas, even at low ethane levels. The wide detection range spans from 1 ppm to 100 Vol.%, with a Universal+ Mode for simplified operation.
