Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for stabilizing an emissions instrument. The emissions instrument includes an emissions sensor. The emissions sensor may be coupled to a gyro stabilizer. The gyro stabilizer may stabilize the emissions sensor, thus resulting in a more accurate and reliable emissions instrument.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a first emissions instrument comprising a first emissions sensor and a first gyro stabilizer coupled to at least a portion of the first emissions sensor;
- and
- a first optical element coupled to the first gyro stabilizer;
- wherein the first emissions instrument comprises a second emissions sensor coupled to the first gyro stabilizer, wherein the second emissions sensor comprises a second optical element offset from the first optical element about a sensing region.

A system, comprising:
- a first emissions instrument comprising a first emissions sensor and a first gyro stabilizer coupled to at least a portion of the first emissions sensor;
- a first optical element coupled to the first gyro stabilizer;
- and
- a second emissions instrument separate from the first emissions instrument, wherein the second emissions instrument comprises a second emissions sensor coupled to a second gyro stabilizer, and the second emissions sensor comprises a second optical element offset from the first optical element about a sensing region.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a first fluid measuring instrument, comprising a first mount configured to mount to a first wall;
