When used in harsh outdoor conditions, devices that promote life safety and continuous operations should have an ingress protection IP66/67 rating. Gas detectors should have such a rating — especially for onshore and offshore applications in the petrochemical, oil and gas industry. An IP66 or IP67 rating is achieved as a result of robust design that protects the gas detector against dust ...

Personnel working in chemical plants protect themselves with personal gas detectors from gas exposure. Gas leaks are very unlikely to occur, so the gas detector will always display „0“. An instrument displaying zero can do so for two reasons: a) The concentration is zero. b) The instrument is defective. For good reasons a daily check of the instrument is mandatory. It would ...

Gas detection technology has developed rapidly, bringing with it the introduction of “maintenance free” gas detectors. As a result, gas detection users have become more reliant on the sensor lasting longer, assuming that the gas detector will work properly without routine calibration. However, this isn’t the case ...

No matter how basic or technologically advanced your gas detector or monitor, how do you know it is working correctly? How do you know it will save lives? The only way to eliminate doubt is to regularly calibrate gas detection monitors and to check the general functioning of alarms. Manufacturers make recommendations regarding calibration but it could be argued that, in the case of personal and ...

SINGLE CABLE SOLUTIONS FOR GAS DETECTION Cabling Costs and Space Issues Why is it that in today’s digital age many Gas Detection Systems still need to be installed with individual analogue loops from control to sensor, each requiring a separate 3 or 4 core cable connection. As you increase the size of a Gas Detection System so the corresponding loops increase by that factor of 3 or 4. ...

A new gas detector that reacts to toxic or explosive concentrations of ethanol has been developed by Sensor Electronics of Minneapolis. Like gasoline, ethanol is extremely volatile and explosive. It’s also toxic: In high concentrations it displaces oxygen, leading to asphyxiation and possible death. This new infrared gas detector “sees” even minute traces of ethanol, making it ideal for ...
