Everything You Need to Know About Handheld Combustible Gas Detector

When working at industrial facilities or with utilities, various combustible and toxic gases can leak into the air and make the area dangerous for the workers—such as oil and gas, wastewater treatment, chemical plants, pharma, and fire services. Portable gas detectors need to be able to identify a variety of threats.

Ease of Use
One very important aspect of your device, no matter what you need to detect, is ease of use. If the detector is too complicated, the temptation will be by your workers to avoid using it, which could have deadly consequences. If your workers function in a very confined space, ease of use is critical.

Alarms
Work areas can be incredibly noisy, so making sure your workers can hear the detector’s alarm is also very important. If the alarm is not loud enough, it might be too late before anyone realizes there is a problem. Making sure you select the most suitable detector for the type of work you and your workers do just might save your lives.

Classification and Application of Portable Gas Detectors
1. Classification
According to function, it can be divided into portable gas detector and portable gas leak detector;
According to the number of detectable gases, it can be divided into single gas detector and multi gas detector;
According to the principle of gas sensor, it can be divided into electrochemical gas detector, semiconductor gas detector and infrared gas detector.

2. Application
The portable gas detector can detect hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, phosphine, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, and combustible gas, etc. And it’s widely used in the on-site detection of petrochemical, coal, metallurgy, chemical industry, municipal gas, environmental monitoring and other fields.
