How to choose the right gas detector? Keep these four points in mind!
In some working conditions, the safety problems caused by gas leakage not only seriously affect the stable operation of the construction, but also bring great safety hazards to the staff, so real-time gas monitoring is particularly important. Faced with a wide variety of gas detectors, how should customers choose the one they need, and what aspects should they pay attention to? Mainly look at the following four points.
1. Clarify testing needs
First of all, customers have to clarify whether they need a fixed or portable gas detector, as well as the accompanying functions.
Portable gas detectors are generally used for detection in limited spaces, including some closed equipment such as cabins, storage tanks, vehicle tanks, reaction towers, pipes, flues, etc., as well as limited underground spaces such as cellars, waste wells, sewage pools, Biogas tanks, septic tanks, etc. Portable gas detectors are small and easy to carry, and can be attached to clothes near the mouth and nose with a back clip. In addition, the operation is relatively simple, and there are generally fewer buttons.
Fixed gas detectors are generally used widely in industrial installations and production processes. They can be fixedly installed at point locations to detect specific gas leakage sources, and are suitable for detection characteristics such as continuity and long-term stability.
Note: the type of on-site gas and the selection of the measuring range.
2. Understand the working environment
The working conditions of each manufacturer are different, and temperature, humidity, pressure, dust, flow, etc. are all points that need to be paid attention to. Because these elements in the environment will have some impact on the detection results, and may even cause damage to the instrument. Therefore, when customers choose a suitable gas detector, they should make a clear discussion of the production environment, so that the instrument manufacturer can provide corresponding gas detection solutions.
As a manufacturer, we will customize a suitable gas detection solution according to the needs of customers. If there are many influencing factors in the environment, we will use a gas pretreatment system to process the sample gas.
3. Explosion-proof requirements
General gas detectors have explosion-proof and non-explosion-proof types. For example, petroleum, chemical, coal and other industries have very strict requirements for explosion-proof, explosion-proof, intrinsically safe explosion-proof, etc. In addition, there are some working conditions that require gas detectors to carry environmental certification and measuring instrument licenses.
4. Some other functional requirements
Generally speaking, the function of the gas detector is to detect the gas concentration value, and when the gas concentration exceeds the preset alarm value, an alarm will be issued. But in many cases, our users not only need these basic functions, but also have some other requirements, such as the requirements for some network interfaces and wireless signals, which requires users to make reasonable demand planning.
To sum up, clarify the detection requirements, understand the working environment, the requirements for explosion protection and other additional requirements, and you can choose the appropriate gas detector if you achieve these four points. The gas detector is a tool to ensure the safety of industrial production and the health of the staff. Only by choosing a suitable gas detector can we truly prevent unburned.
