Portable Gas Detectors
Portable Gas Detectors, also known as Personal Gas Detectors, are used by entrants in Confined Spaces or other hazardous areas to monitor the atmosphere and to warn if dangerous conditions are present.
If the air in an area becomes unsafe then the monitor will alarm and warn the user to evacuate the area as soon as possible so that they remain safe.
It is very important when choosing a Personal gas Detector that you are sure of the gases that you need to detect, so that you have the correct monitor rather than the most popular unit, or cheapest unit, which may not be doing anything to keep you safe.
Portable Gas Detectors can be set up or specified to monitor a wide range of toxic, flammable and inert gases. For some specialist applications Photo Ionisation Detectors (PID's) and Infra-Red Detectors (IR) will be used. If you are in doubt which unit you need don't hesitate to contact us and we can assist in your selection.
