EX-1500 Gas Leak Detector

The Gastech EX-1500 is a professional handheld gas leak detector in a compact slim body — featuring a color graphic display, five-button navigation panel, and top-mounted probe port for direct probe and kit attachment. The instrument measures methane (CH4) simultaneously across three scales: PPM trace concentration, %LEL explosive range, and %VOL full volume percentage — from 1 ppm to 100% VOL in a single instrument with automatic scale switching. The unit also provides gas reading conversion output for Propane (C3H8) and Pentane (C5H12) alongside the primary methane calibration, making it usable across methane, LPG, and mixed hydrocarbon gas network environments without recalibration. The solid-state sensor delivers high sensitivity and high repeatability. The standard supply includes a carry case and a multi-function probe kit. Product code: EA.0005.0010.

The automatic scale switching transitions the display from PPM to %LEL to %VOL as gas concentration rises during a leak investigation, requiring no manual range change by the operator at any concentration level encountered. The simultaneous measurement and display across all three scales means the instrument provides both the trace detection sensitivity needed for initial leak search and the explosive atmosphere classification readout needed for emergency response, in a single operating mode. The Propane and Pentane conversion output extends the instrument’s utility across LPG distribution networks and petrochemical environments where these gases are present alongside or instead of methane. The color graphic display gives clear, high-contrast readings in all outdoor and indoor field conditions.

The Gastech EX-1500 is deployed by gas network operators, emergency response technicians, civil protection units, fire brigade USAR teams, and general utility field crews for pre-location, location, and classification of gas leaks on buried and above-ground pipelines — and for emergency atmospheric assessment at gas incident scenes. Its combined PPM + LEL + VOL measurement in a single auto-ranging instrument covers the complete leak response workflow from initial trace detection through full explosive atmosphere classification in one uninterrupted operating session.

Leader Infra supplies this professional three-scale auto-ranging gas leak detector for gas network operators, emergency response teams, and civil protection units — delivering simultaneous PPM, %LEL, and %VOL methane detection with CH4/C3H8/C5H12 conversion outputs in a single compact color-display field instrument.

FAQ — What is the practical value of Propane and Pentane conversion output on a methane-calibrated instrument? Gas network operators and emergency responders encounter LPG installations — Propane and Butane/Pentane — as well as methane networks in the field. The conversion output allows the same instrument to provide an approximate concentration reading in the gas type present at each site, without carrying separate calibrated instruments for each gas. While not a substitute for full multi-gas calibration, the conversion function gives operators a consistent working tool across both methane and LPG environments during daily field operations.
