Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for determining the integrity of a closed container. The method and system includes the steps of positioning the container in a surrounding, changing a gas pressure, a gas composition, a gas concentration, or any combination of gas pressure, gas concentration and gas composition, in the surrounding. Thereafter subjecting the container to an optical sensor, non-intrusively, the sensor being sensitive to at least one gas, and the sensor is configured for detecting the at least one gas inside the container. Reading a signal from the optical sensor related to a gas pressure, a gas concentration, a gas composition, or any combination of gas pressure, gas concentration, and gas composition, inside the container. The behaviour of the signal being indicative of breach in integrity of the container.

Abstract:
A compact apparatus for detecting multiple gases, e. g., in a closed container, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a multi-wavelength laser module (4) and a multi-wavelength detector (1), the detector comprising a stack of at least two material layers (2, 3) arranged along the same optical axis, wherein each layer is designed to detect a specific wavelength range different from the wavelength ranges detected by the other layers. The laser module may comprise at least two laser sources (5, 6) configured to emit different wavelengths, said laser sources being positioned close to each other so as to enable overlapping laser beam paths (7). The laser sources may be tunable diode laser or may be made of different laser chips arranged in a same laser housing. The apparatus may be configured as a TDLAS apparatus.

Abstract:
1. The disclosure relates to system and method for determining a concentration of at least one gas in a container having at least one side with a flexible area. The system includes a measuring area arranged for receiving the container; a suction device arranged for pulling at least one portion of the flexible area a distance to arranging at least the portion of the flexible area in a position to provide a space underneath at least the portion of the flexible area; an optical sensor, configured to be sensitive to the at least one gas, is arranged in relation to the measuring area for transmitting a light signal through the space and detecting a transmitted light signal; and a control unit configured for determining, based on the transmitted light signal, the concentration of the at least one gas in the container.
Abstract:
An system and method is disclosed for determining a concentration of at least one gas in a container. The system and method includes detecting light reflected by a surface inside or behind the container, or light refracted or scattered by the container, with a detector, wherein the detector provides a first signal related to an intensity of the reflected light, and a second signal related to a position of reflected light being detected. The first and second signals are used for estimating a concentration of the at least one gas inside the container.
