From the manufacturer
The GSD600 Gas Leak Detector features a flexible, stainless steel probe for easy access.
Safety Certification:
All Amprobe tools, including the Amprobe GSD600, are rigorously tested for safety, accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness in our state-of-the-art test lab. In addition, Amprobe products that measure electricity are listed by a 3rd party safety lab, either UL or CSA. This system assures that Amprobe products meet or exceed safety regulations and will perform in a tough, professional environment for many years to come.
Amprobe GSD600 Gas Leak Detector
Reliably detect methane and propane gas and pinpoint combustible gas leakage
When working with combustible gases, safety is top priority. The Amprobe GSD600 Gas Leak Detector senses leaking methane and propane gas from closed piping systems reliably and quickly. Use it in home, industrial, and HVAC maintenance applications. The GSD600 indicates the concentration level of the combustible gas in PPMs (parts per million), which is important for safety concerns. When gas exceeds certain PPM levels, the environment is toxic and explosive. The area should not be entered until properly ventilated.
The attached flexible, stainless steel probe is 17.6-inch (447 millimeter) long and provides access to hard-to-reach areas. It also comes with both an audio and visual warning system. An audible buzzer notifies the user when gas is present and beeps more frequently as the concentration of gas increases in order to pinpoint the source of leaks. An LED display panel indicates the concentration of gas detected.
The unit automatically calibrates when it is powered on, helping to ensure measurement accuracy. A mute button silences the buzzer when using the detector in quiet workplaces, and the detector has an earphone jack for connecting a headset (not included) to the meter. The auto power-off feature turns off the unit after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. It has a sensor cap that protects the sensor during transportation and storage. The unit comes with a carrying case.
- Detects leaking gas in closed piping systems
- Semiconductor sensor detects methane and propane gas
- Flexible stainless steel probe provides access to hard-to-reach areas
- Audible buzzer and a display panel with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate presence and concentration of detected gas
- Automatic calibration at start-up helps ensure accuracy

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First, note that this tool will calibrate itself automatically every time you turn it on; so I was always turning it on while outside in open air to get a good baseline. Then, I noticed how cool this tool is right away. I walked into the building and the GSD600 immediately detected gas to its first indicator level (there's an escalated set of indicators and sounds as it senses gases more intensely). It detected this gas in a building where I could not smell anything at all; and the gas had been shut off at the meter for about 24 hours! I stepped back outside and the indication cleared ..stepped back inside and it registered one light. Very nice.
I then turned the gas on, and proceeded to wander around different areas poking the sensor into corners and closets, etc. Methane (Natural Gas) rises, so I was checking along ceilings and high areas that may trap gases. I went to the basement and poked the sensor into each joist cavity for a few seconds. Eventually I found a space that lit the sensor up like a Christmas tree and it didn't take long to follow it to the source; a small leak in a poorly installed fitting. Thank you!
"Natural gas is a mixture of small organic molecules that are all gasses at normal temperatures. Methane is the most abundant constituent of natural gas, while ethane, propane, and helium are also present. Natural gas also includes trace amounts of other organic gases."
Since this product is described as being able to detect methane and propane, I went ahead and bought it. It worked perfectly for me. I could detect small leaks (40-80ppm) and big leaks (off the scale at over 640ppm). The only problem with this purchase is that the four AA batteries that came in the package were dead on arrival, and I had to supply my own batteries. No big deal. That, and when you open the handy plastic carrying case for the detector, it really stinks like some awful plastic/petroleum product smell. The case now lives out in my workshop; the detector lives inside the house with me.
About the device itself, I also confirm that it is extremely sensitive. The big question is: At what level the gas detection is dangerous? For example, Is 40 ppm level dangerous? Is 60 ppm level dangerous? In other words, At what level detected we should start worrying? As this unit is not announced exclusively for gas experts or plumbers but also for home use, Amprobe should clarify or give more information about this question.
This may seem silly but the truth is that many people (like me) buy these devices searching help to find gas leaks at home that we can smell but we don't know where are. The problem with such extremely sensitive device is it also detects other minimal leaks that we can't smell. Leaks that nobody knows before that exists. Result: you begin to go something crazy asking something like “Is this really a leak or it’s perhaps an appliance measurement error?. And you go crazy thinking the valves and pipe joints that you must fix or change. It is my personal experience of course!
Finally, a minor but not least important detail: the sensor cap is very fragile. It should have a better design to protect internal wires when removing the cap. Accidentally I unscrewed the sensor cap and the single rotation of it breaks the extremely thin and unprotected internal wires. I think that it would be good that Amprobe copy the best practices of the best manufacturers and redesign that so fragile part of the device with some protection for these wires. A favour to “fools” like me.
Conclusion: I still believe that this Amprobe gas leak detector is the best relation quality/money and I recommend it, with the doubts observations noted above.
