Detecting Gases: What You Can`t Smell Can Hurt You
Walking through a drill-site area, a worker smells rotten eggs and stops tor a minute or two to assess where a gas leak might exist. Rubbing his itchv eves as he investigates further, he notices that he no longer smells the tell¬tale hydrogen sulphide odour. He does not realize that the gas has deadened his olfactory senses and unless he leaves the area within seconds, he could lose ...

Choosing the Right Multi Gas Detector for Your Application
Abstract:When it comes to gas detection, there are various types of detectors on the market, each designed to detect a specific type or range of gases. However, in some applications, a single detector may not be enough. In this case, a multi-gas detector can be a useful tool to detect multiple gases simultaneously.What do I need to pay attention to when choosing a multi-gas sensor?1: Gas type ...

Application of gas detector sensor
How a gas detector works. Gas detection systems are safety technology products, best used to protect workers' lives and ensure factory safety. Gas detection systems are designed to sense the concentration of hazardous gas vapors, trigger alarms and beam light signals -- and initiate responses before hazardous situations arise for employees, assets and the environment. They are an important tool ...

Hazardous Industries That Need Gas Detection Monitoring
Of all occupational hazards, gases are considered silent killers. You can’t see, feel, or sometimes smell them, but they’re lurking around in the workplace. These substances endanger your employees, causing injuries, illnesses, and even accidental death. The following industries are among those that face hazardous exposure every day: Mining and Quarrying While naturally occurring ...

Chlorine Dioxide gas detection: A comprehensive guide
Introduction Some years agoago, the bleaching process in the paper industry was changed from using Chlorine (Cl2) as bleaching agent to Chlorine dioxide (ClO2). This was a challenge forThis posed a major challenge to industrial hygienists, as there were no sensors or detectors available that were specific to Chlorine dioxide: There was no sensor technology for gas detectors available that would ...

How to choose detectors in the dangerous cargo warehouse
The principle of choosing toxic gas and combustible gas detectors in dangerous cargo warehouse: 1.Dangerous cargo warehouse detection of gas mainly including combustible or toxic. Measurement of the type of gas characteristics, the first is to measure the explosion, second is the measurement of toxicity. The so-called measuring explosion is the detection of combustible gases, such as methane, ...

Safety Systems Depend on Reliable Field Sensors (Emphasis on Fire and Gas Detectors)
Abstract Because not all hazards are the same, identifying and quantifying the hazard is the starting point in choosing sensing technology. Not all detectors are the same, and they should be selected according to their ability to detect the hazard. This paper gives a broad summary of technologies that provide users reliable responses to hazardous conditions, that minimise false alarms, and that ...

Follow toxic gas standards for a smoother project
Toxic gases, such as Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfur Dioxide, can injure and kill quickly. Therefore, mitigation of these hazards must be fast and sure. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other authorities take detection of these gases very seriously. The American National Standards Institute/ American Petroleum Institute (ANSI/API) and ISA industry standards ...

Benefits of HART Communication-Enabled Gas and Flame Detectors
Catastrophic results can occur when a fire or a flammable/toxic gas release goes undetected in any petrochemical facility. For early warning and prompt hazard mitigation, flame detectors and gas detectors are essential tools. Clear, usable, diagnostic information from these detection instruments is extremely valuable in ensuring the devices are properly maintained, tested, and poised to protect ...

The importance of using harmful gas detector
Industrial harmful gas detectors monitor the presence of gases in a specified area and sound an alarm when they reach dangerous levels. Gas detectors are typically installed where there is a potential for a gas leak, and where unsafe gas levels pose an immediate danger to workers or equipment. Harmful gas detectors are widely used by industries including gas and oil, medical, mining, nuclear, ...

Not All Hazards are the Same: Design considerations for matching flame and gas hazards to detector technologies
Not all flame and gas hazards in facilities are the same, therefore the detection technology chosen should be specific to the type of hazard to be detected. How do users select technologies to see certain fires or detect certain gases? The intent of this paper is to give a broad introduction to the selection and use of flame and gas detector technologies. We will answer questions such as these: ...

BUMP TESTING AMMONIA (NH3) SENSORS
Bump testing a gas sensor involves flowing a concentration of gas that is slightly higher than the Low alarm setpoint of the gas detector for a short period of time (1-2 minutes or less). The purpose of a bump test is to confirm that the sensor responds to the presence of gas, the low alarm will activate and the gas detector overall is operating appropriately. The bump test is used to confirm ...

Gas Detectors Can Ensure Chlorine Safety in Swimming Pools
In April 2019, six people became sick after being exposed to chlorine gas at a hotel pool in India, because one of the chlorine gas cylinders, which had been stored improperly, began to leak, exposing swimmers to chlorine gas. In June 2019, some 50 pool patrons became ill after a pump malfunction leaked chlorine gas at an indoor pool in Utah. These are not isolated events. According to the ...
