Analysis of Common Operational Faults in Gas Detector Applications
There may be some toxic and harmful gases in the air, and in order to measure their concentration values, gas detectors can be used for detection. Due to the different types of instruments, their application fields may also vary. Below, we will introduce which fields portable gas detectors can be used in.
Application fields of portable gas detectors
1. Oil and gas:
Portable gas detectors can be used in fields such as oil and gas, as gas leaks may occur during the extraction, transportation, storage, and smelting processes of oil or gas. So it can be used as a warning instrument.
2. Chemical site:
In the field of chemical plants, a large amount of toxic gases are usually generated, so gas detection instruments must be used in chemical plants. They mainly detect general hydrocarbon gases and various toxic gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc.
3. Hospital:
The medical waste gas generated in medical laboratories generally contains many toxic gases. To ensure personnel safety, portable gas detectors can be used.
4. Underground tunnels and parking lots:
In some enclosed tunnels and parking lots, it is necessary to monitor the exhaust gases in the air. When gas concentration poses a threat to human safety, timely measures can be taken.
5. Semiconductor Manufacturing:
In the process of semiconductor production, phosphorus, arsenic, boron, gallium, and other additives are generally used, and hydrogen gas is also used as a reactant to reduce some of them, which can lead to the presence of many flammable and toxic gases in the current environment. In this case, portable gas detectors are needed for detection.
6. Power station:
Generally, coal or oil is used as raw materials in the power plant industry, so the role of portable gas detectors in power plant applications is mainly to detect flammable gases such as natural gas, hydrogen, as well as toxic gases such as CO and SO.
