Introducing Bar Hole Sampler: A New Era in Gas Leak Management

We were excited to launch our new Bar Hole Sampler at the recent 2025 AGA Conference. The Bar Hole Sampler is a powerful all-in-one tool that sets a new benchmark for precision and performance in natural gas leak management. Developed through a strategic collaboration between Heath Consultants Incorporated and Sensors, Inc., this technology integrates pinpointing, purging, and quantification into one compact and user‑friendly system.

The First of its Kind: a Complete 3-in-1 Tool

The Bar Hole Sampler stands apart in the industry by delivering three critical capabilities — pinpointing, purging, and quantification in a single streamlined tool.

Pinpointing Tool

At the heart of the pinpointing system is an internal gas sensor paired with an extraction/sample pump. This enables technicians to rapidly and accurately locate gas leaks with improved efficiency and minimized unnecessary excavation.

Purging Tool

The Bar Hole Sampler supports purging with two flow options:

• low flow using an internal battery-powered pump
• high flow when connected to compressed air via vacuum venturi

Software utilities allow progress to be monitored.

Quantification Tool

Quantitative leak assessment is performed in real-time by integrating flow rate data with methane concentration readings. This allows for reliable leak grading—critical for prioritizing repairs, meeting compliance standards, and improving public and environmental safety.

Designed for ease of use, the Bar Hole Sampler offers intuitive controls and remote Wi‑Fi operation, allowing technicians to manage tasks effortlessly.

A Strategic Collaboration Bringing Innovation to the Field — The Bar Hole Sampler is the result of an expanded partnership between two industry leaders. Heath Consultants has over 90 years of methane emissions management expertise, while Sensors, Inc. has over 55 years of pioneering experience in gas emissions and particulate measurement technology.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Sensors, Inc. to bring this precision-crafted and tailored solution technology to our customers.”
— Patrick Jacobs, VP of Sales and Marketing, Heath Consultants

“Heath’s deep relationships and product knowledge will be immeasurable to the success of this product launch.”
— Joe Morrill, CEO, Sensors, Inc.

With Heath Consultants as the exclusive provider in the United States, this release marks a major advancement in utility field safety and gas leak response protocols.
