Natural Gas Leak Detector Ethane Analysis for Utility Pipeline Inspection
The GOLIATH RN with Ethane Analysis is a professional explosion-proof gas detection instrument designed for natural gas utilities, pipeline operators, emergency response teams, and LDAR (Leak Detection & Repair) programs. In addition to highly sensitive methane detection, it features integrated ethane analysis, allowing technicians to distinguish natural gas from biogas or swamp gas—reducing false leak investigations and improving inspection efficiency.
Built for utility field operations, the GOLIATH RN measures methane and carbon dioxide while supporting optional oxygen and carbon monoxide sensors. Its integrated diaphragm pump, fast infrared sensing, rugged ATEX-certified construction, and onboard ethane analysis make it an ideal solution for pipeline inspections, building surveys, bar hole testing, gas purity verification, and emergency leak response.
