Dräger MetCam Gas Camera

Drager%20Logo.png

Product Overview

The Dräger MetCam is an explosion-proof gas camera able to continuously monitor large areas for potential hazards such as methane leaks and fugitive emissions. The MetCam automatically determines the source of the leak and quantifies the intensity using advanced algorithms. It also transmits alarms via analog 4–20mA/HART or RS485 Modbus. Visualization is via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

Unlike with point detectors, the gas source doesn’t need to be in the immediate area of the camera. When the source is within the field of view of the camera, the MetCam is able to detect leaks and provide timely warnings. This gives facilities time to react, increasing the safety and efficiency of the facility as a whole.

​The camera independently recognizes if the optics are dirty or covered, and alerts you accordingly. This reduces false alarms and ensures that your system is ready for use.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
