The detector responds to the ultrasound generated from gas releases in open, well-ventilated areas, where traditional methods of detection may be unsuitable or dependent on ventilation.

Because the UltraSonic Detector responds to the source of a gas release rather than the dispersed gas, it is unaffected by changing wind directions, gas dilution, and the direction of the gas leak. With its wide coverage radius, a single unit can monitor a relatively large area.

Features of the UltraSonic Gas Leak Detector include:

• Advanced high-precision stainless steel microphone enables instant detection of pressurized gas leaks
• Senssonic^TM integrated acoustic self-test provides full failsafe operation
• HART and ModBus communication options provide complete status and control capability in the control room
• Stainless steel 316L explosion-proof housing for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• One-person check and calibration with traceable portable test unit delivers high reliability and trouble-free maintenance
• Three-digit LED display shows actual sound pressure level and alarm indication
• Event logging stores fault, sound check, calibration, and alarm event history (requires HART communication)

Applications for the MSA UltraSonic EX-5 Detector include floating production storage and offloading vessels; gas compressor & metering stations, storage facilities, and turbine power plants; hydrogen storage facilities; LNG / GTL trains; LNG re-gasification plants; offshore and onshore oil and gas installations; petrochemical processing plants; refineries; and underground gas storage facilities.
