Instruments

Gas detection instruments are used to determine the presence of toxic or combustible gas in an atmosphere. Portable detectors can be worn by a user for constant personal monitoring or can be used to detect a specific area for the presence of toxic gas. Fixed system gas detectors are positioned in a permanent location for constant monitoring of a particular area in a manufacturing facility or processing operation, such as waste/water treatment, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical and petroleum operations, pulp and paper plants, and power utilities.

Fixed Systems
Detection systems that are integrated into a building’s operations are called fixed and provide a constant monitoring and early detection system for potentially harzardous operations of a facility. These systems consist of a single or multi-point transmitter and a receiver that continuously monitor for combustible or toxic gases, or the presence of flame.
Gas Detection Tubes
Wide range of tubes, the majority available from stock, employing “dry” chemistry.
Colorimetric Toxic Gas Detection Instruments
Chemically-treated paper tape to detect PPB levels of acutely toxic gases are available in both fixed and portable instruments.
Portable Instruments
Compact gas monitors that measure gas levels to alarm when dangerous conditions exist so that a user knows if the environment is IDLH or when personal protective equipment is needed.
