Page 5: General Description
Operating Manual General Description The SEM5000 is a digital gas detection instrument from QED Environmental Systems, Inc. The intended use of the SEM5000 is the measurement of low concentrations of methane in the field (Landfill surface emissions monitoring, leakage surveys of natural gas networks, control pinpointing outside buildings, quantifying methane fluxes, and laboratory applications for gas analysis). -
