Gas Data GM25-4 Gas Analyser
Ground Gas, Borehole Flow & Contaminated Land Monitoring
The Gas Data GM25-4 is a professional portable gas analyser designed for site investigation, contaminated land assessment, landfill gas monitoring and environmental compliance. Its combination of gas concentration, pressure and low-flow measurement makes it particularly well suited to monitoring ground gas boreholes on greenfield and brownfield sites.
The GM25-4 provides six gas analysis channels, measuring methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxygen (O₂), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO) and hexane (HEX). A PID correction factor is also provided for low-level VOC measurements, making the instrument particularly useful when investigating sites affected by hydrocarbons or other contamination.
In addition to gas composition, the GM25-4 measures atmospheric, static and differential pressure, together with bidirectional instantaneous and peak borehole flow. Unlike the GM25-3, which calculates higher extraction-system flows from differential pressure, the GM25-4 directly measures low borehole flow in litres per hour.

Application Guidance
The GM25-4 is particularly suited to ground gas borehole monitoring where gas composition, borehole pressure and low gas flow need to be measured with a single instrument. Typical applications include contaminated land investigations, brownfield development, landfill perimeter monitoring, ground gas risk assessment and environmental compliance monitoring.
