The True Cost of Personal Multi-Gas Monitors
Personal multi-gas monitors are among the most commonly used gas detectors today, and for good reason. Four-gas and five-gas monitors allow you to monitor the three primary gas hazards: toxic, combustible, and asphyxiant gases, while also giving you the flexibility to customize your sensor configuration to the gas hazards you’re...
When Emergencies Strike, Consider Gas Detector Rental
When you need gas detectors, and need them quickly, renting is the most efficient and effective route. Gas detectors can be readied and delivered the very next day—or even the same day—in some cases. Whether the driving factor is a natural disaster, an accident, or just an overlooked or unplanned turnaround...
Gas Detection in the Drinks Industry
Gas hazards are present throughout many different parts of the drinks industry: from the carbon dioxide used for the carbonation of soft drinks to the range of dangerous gases that can be produced during fermentation and distillation of alcoholic drinks. Whether these gases are essential processing aids or unwanted byproducts,...
Hydrogen Gas Detection
Hydrogen is an essential industrial gas that is also becoming increasingly important as a fuel. Hydrogen, however, is fundamentally different from any other fuel source, in terms of both its hazards and its function. As the global hydrogen economy continues to grow, it is anticipated that hydrogen will play a key...
Honeywell announced new Searchline Excel Plus and Searchline Excel Edge open path flammable hydrocarbon gas leak detectors
In August 2021 American company Honeywell announced Searchline Excel Plus and Searchline Excel Edge open path flammable hydrocarbon gas leak detectors. By using state of the art design of optics and optical elements, with advanced algorithms and diagnostics, Honeywell’s Searchline Excel Plus and Edge improve upon the current generation, to...
Cleanroom safety with sampling gas detectors
Cleanrooms are enclosed facilities specially designed to control levels of airborne contamination. Depending on the particle concentration, clean rooms are categorized into nine ISO classes. Class 1 being the purest and containing only 12 particles per cubic meter. By contrast, the particulate concentration of ambient air is around 35 million particles per...
Fastest insect in the world used for gas detection
Scientists at UC Berkeley University have created an insect-sized robot that is fast and mobile like real insects and bugs. It owes its mobility to "feet" that use different voltages to change the strength of adhesion to the surface, which allows it to change the direction of movement suddenly and quickly. The...
Why acoustic gas detectors make a difference: The Searchzone Sonik
When dealing with compressed gasses in outdoor applications or when distributing pressurized natural gas through pipelines, in the event of leaks or fires, the hazards can range from personal injury or death to serious infrastructure damages. Traditional gas detection methods can be influenced by environmental factors like wind, so additional...
