Bar hole sampler delivers integrated precision in gas leak detection

03 Oct, 2025

Sensors Inc., has introduced the Bar Hole Sampler, a groundbreaking all-in-one device that redefines efficiency and precision in natural gas leak management. Combining pinpointing, purging, and quantification within a single compact system, it represents a significant step forward for field operations.

The leak pinpointing function uses an internal gas sensor paired with an extraction pump, allowing technicians to rapidly locate leaks with high precision while reducing unnecessary excavation. Purging is supported through dual flow options: low flow via the internal battery-powered pump, and high flow using compressed air via a vacuum venturi. Integrated software provides real-time monitoring of purging progress, further enhancing operational control.

Quantitative assessment is carried out by merging flow rate data with methane concentration measurements, thereby enabling accurate leak grading. This capability facilitates prioritised repairs, regulatory compliance, and improved environmental and public safety management.

Designed for ease of use, Sensors’ Bar Hole Sampler features intuitive controls and remote Wi‑Fi operation, allowing technicians to manage tasks efficiently and safely. By integrating three critical capabilities into a single streamlined platform, the Bar Hole Sampler is an ideal tool for the gas leak management sector.
