In 2019 we were contacted by the ÖVGW (counterpart of the DVGW in Austria) to participate in a benchmark test with such a ppb system. All other providers contacted did not participate for whatever reason.
We were very uncertain and had great concerns. After all, the sensitivity stated by the other manufacturer, the six-figure price and also high license fees suggest that there must be huge differences in performance.
We went there anyway.
The test with the vehicle-mounted gas detection systems was carried out over two days. On the first day, different gas leaks had to be traced on a test track at 10 km/h, 20 km/h and 30 km/h and two different leak sizes had to be detected.
On the second day, various leaks in road traffic in Vienna were approached and also inspected at 10, 20 and 30 km/h.
The result was very positive for us, because our latest GasCar was able to locate the same number of leaks as the competition.
Customers, who are interested in receiving a test report from us, please contact us at esders@esders.de. We will be more than happy to send you the report. We are also available for further, detailed information and advice.
