Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the "Scout VGS 4500," a vehicle-based measurement station developed by Schütz for gas leak detection. This system aligns with new regulations (G465-1 to G465-4) that permit vehicle-based inspections, enhancing productivity and accuracy compared to traditional foot-based methods.
System Overview
The "Scout VGS 4500" is designed for modular use with various vehicle types, proving effective in challenging environments like deserts. It features measuring probes mounted on the vehicle's front, connected to an internal measuring cell via a suction hose. The system uses a laser measuring system for methane detection, offering high sensitivity (0.01 ppm) without cross-sensitivity to other gases.
Operation and Software
Operated via a Tablet PC, the system's software, developed by Schütz, provides real-time route tracking, automatic leak logging, and GPS-guided navigation. It includes a global map and allows for additional map uploads for specific gas pipe networks.
Performance and Practicality
The "Scout VGS 4500" can inspect large network sections quickly, with speeds up to 50 km/h. It has demonstrated reliability in extreme conditions, such as high temperatures in desert environments. The system is easy to install and use, requiring minimal training for operational personnel.
Specifications
  • Measuring range: 10 ppb – 2 Vol. % CH4
  • Max. speed: 50 km/h
  • Calibrated gases: Methane only (CH4)
  • Power supply: 12V
  • Interfaces: LAN, USB
  • Dimensions: 900 x 250 x 245 mm (L / W / H)
  • Cross sensitivity: None known, only reacts to methane
Conclusion
The "Scout VGS 4500" offers a significant advancement in gas leak detection, providing enhanced sensitivity, ease of use, and comprehensive documentation capabilities, making it a valuable tool for efficient gas network inspections.

G465-1: Paragraph 7.2.1 Vehicle-based measuring systems for above-ground checking of gas pipes for leaks can be used above the pipe run. Up to now, the above-ground inspection of the gas pipe networks has been carried out with the carpet probe and measuring device following the buried pipes. The vehicle-based measuring station "Scout VGS 4500" fulfills the requirements of the regulations and improves the previously known sensitivity by factors, thus significantly increasing the quality of vehicle-based gas leak detection. Together with the associated software, the documentation quality of the...

SCOUT VGS 4500-3

With the "Scout VGS 4500" measuring system from Schutz, very large sections of network can be checked in a short time and the results can be documented. Practical measurements have shown that speeds of up to 50 km / h are possible with the vehicle-based measuring system. Even under the most difficult conditions, the Scout VGS 4500 has proven its reliability. For the end customer, the system was successfully subjected to a resistance test in the desert at an outside temperature of over 36 degrees. The "Scout VGS 4500" measuring station was designed to be easy to install and use. This allows operations...
