READ FIRST 1.2 Functional Description UAV Based Laser Methane Leakage Detector (U10) is a gas detection device for remotely measuring methane gas using a drone as a carrier. The device emits a laser, an invisible infrared laser that measures the concentration per unit (ppm.m) of methane gas present at a long distance.
Page 7
READ FIRST In the telemetry test, after the emitted beam passes through the leaked me- thane air mass, it must be reflected by the reflecting surface, and then passed through the air mass and returned to the detector, so that the instrument can complete the measurement and output the unit concentration value.

READ FIRST 1.4 Unit Concentration(ppm.m) “ The meaning of 100 ppm.m : to uniformly distribute 100 ppm of methane gas on a gas mass of 1 m thickness. ” It can be approximated that the unit concentration is the concentration after the methane molecules on the straight line (laser detection line) between the telemeter and the reflection target are uniformly "compressed"...

Operation supports real-time drawing of the inspection route, starting with the identification as “start point” and ending the identification as “end point” . The application automatically adds an “alarm point” when an alarm occurs; it supports manual addition of the “attention point” for loca- tions that require attention.
