Why Portable Gas Detectors are needed?
Entering confined spaces or a potentially hazardous area:
It is critical to test the air in such areas for oxygen levels as well as toxic gases before entering the confined spaces.
Tracing gas leaks at service lines & joints:
It helps to identify the problem area where the gas leak has occurred.
When chemical processing or other works are carried out in hazardous areas:
It becomes important to check for hazardous or toxic gases in the area where certain processes are to be carried out.
Is there a Constant or a Temporary Gas Danger?
In industries where dangerous gases are always present, installing fixed gas detectors is best. However, if the gas leak danger is a temporary concern, then a portable gas detector is more efficient.
The right gas detector for your industry will depend upon the nature of process carried out or materials used in your facility. Therefore, it is essential to consult gas detection experts like us before making a decision to procure a gas detector.
