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...

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...

Carbon monoxide detectors – Honeywell

Carbon monoxide detectors - Honeywell: heating season begins soon - think carbon monoxide and protect yourself in time Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is lighter than air. It is formed by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances. In households, it occurs when operating...

Honeywell introduces automated methane monitoring solution in Europe to help companies address their climate goals

Honeywell introduced its gas cloud imaging (GCI) system in Europe to provide automated and continuous monitoring for leaks of dangerous and polluting gases such as methane at oil and gas, chemical and power generation facilities across the continent. Reducing gas emissions such as methane from hydrocarbon operations is one the most cost-effective and impactful methods to...
