Gas Detection - Single Gas Detectors, Multi Gas Detectors, Portable Gas Detectors, Fixed Gas Detectors

Gas Detection today is becoming much more sophisticated and the gas detectors available today are much more portable and lightweight than ever.  Gas detectors are used in many different applications and locations such as oil rigs, industry and manufacturing, construction, and in firefighting.  Gas detectors transmit an alarm and flashing light when the gas detection level exceeds level the gas detector has been calibrated for.  Single gas detectors were the prevalent type of gas detector when gas detection technology began.  Today, there are many different multi gas detectors available today to detect a whole group of toxic gas threats such as portable gas detectors to be worn on clothing or a worker's belt and then fixed gas detectors in a plant or control room. 

Oxygen depletion is very dangerous for workers, especially when cryogenics are present in environments such as pharmaceutical, MRI rooms, laboratory settings, semiconductor and cryogenic suppliers.  Volatile organic compounds including hydrocarbons are another threat which requires gas detection monitors.
