A new type of detection device in Japan recognizes the liquid in the bottle

Tokyo Gas and TECH JAM have successfully developed the "SFLD-201," a combustible material inspection device for checking liquids in sealed containers such as PET bottles. This is the announcement of the two companies on November 12th. Simply place the container containing liquid and vaporized gas on the device and detect the substance in seconds without direct contact with the liquid. Gasoline, industrial alcohol, kerosene and thinner and other combustible substances were found to be alarmed, while non-flammable substances such as water, beer and Japanese sake could be inspected. The use of electrical methods for identification does not use X-rays and other radiation and special chemical substances.
The size of the device is 38.0 cm in length, 28.5 cm in height, and 28.5 cm in width. Weight 10kg. Can detect 280 to 2000 ml containers. The two companies plan to conduct field trials in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and major airlines in the future, and plan to put them into use.
According to the introduction of the two companies, in order to prevent terrorist attacks, airports and other transportation facilities currently include various methods including X-rays for checking baggage. However, it is also necessary to open the container to confirm the liquid, such as gasoline, that is contained in the container. In fact, chemical analysis that takes a long time is not possible at airports and other places. With the device developed this time, passengers can simply complete the inspection by placing the container on the device. Before this, passengers who drank half a bottle of drink also needed to pour out samples for inspection, but after the device was introduced, passengers could avoid these troubles during security screening. At the same time can also greatly reduce the manpower and resources required for security. Moreover, the device does not use external accessories and parts that need to be replaced, and therefore does not require maintenance costs.
