Match Gas Detection Technology to the Hazard

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Errant industrial gases pose a dangerous mix of toxic and flammable hazards. To detect these hazards effectively, safety engineers must choose a gas detector that senses and measures the unique attributes of the target gas.

Following is a brief summary of several gas-detection technologies and the gas hazards they best detect:

Electrochemical technology is effective primarily for toxic gas detection. Electrochemical sensors use very (more…)

Intelligence in the Field Saves You Time

Don’t de-classify an area just to swap gas sensors.

In many cases, you must de-classify an area to replace field equipment. Depending on area requirements, this could take a couple of workers, quite a bit of time, and some paperwork. But if you simply need to swap out a gas sensor, and if your gas detector is intrinsically safe, that extra work is unnecessary.

And when you use a gas detector that has intelligence using the HART protocol, calibrating a new detector is as simple as using a menu to copy and paste. Intelligence also leads to data logging and advanced remote diagnostics.

Take a look at Det-Tronics’ new GT3000 toxic gas detector line. The sensors are intrinsically safe, hot-swappable, intelligent, and have third-party approvals to standards worldwide. Bottom line: It’s intelligence in the field.
