Gas detectors are devices which measure the presence of harmful gases in the air, and are often an important component to an overall safety system. Typically used to prevent fire and exposure to toxins, gas detectors are manufactured as either stationary or portable units and indicate the detection of high levels of gas through a series of alarms, lights or a combination of signals.

Often battery operated for safety purposes, gas detectors can be programmed to automatically shut down equipment on demand should they detect a gas leak. Gas detectors are an essential item in any household or business as a way to maintain a high safety standard and to keep your family and/or employees safe. While many of the older style gas detector units were fabricated to detect one gas, modern multifunctional devices are able to detect several gases at once (such as carbon monoxide and ammonia) and units can be linked together to create a connected protection system.

Gas detectors are an essential application for home and commercial safety, and they are also employed in numerous industrial settings. Gas detectors are used to detect hazardous vapours in wastewater treatment plants and are very efficient in confined spaces. Such spaces include tanks, vessels and storage bins, where detectors are placed at a site to detect toxins prior to the entry of workers. Regular maintenance, battery inspection and calibration is essential to keeping your gas detector in top condition.
