What gases can be detected by the gas detector
Gas detectors are used in an increasingly wide range of applications. Mainly used in petrochemical industry, water treatment industry, military industry, pharmaceutical industry and food industry.
In many pharmaceutical industries, since many raw materials and intermediates are flammable, explosive or toxic chemicals, toxic, harmful or flammable and explosive gases leak during the chemical production and pharmaceutical process. Choose a suitable flammable gas alarm or gas detector for detection, which can effectively detect some toxic gases, ensure effective inspection, and ensure safety.
A gas detector is an instrument tool for gas leakage concentration detection or alarm. It is mainly divided into handheld/fixed gas detectors. It uses gas sensors to detect the types of gases present in the environment. It is generally used to detect toxic gases, combustible gases or gas oxygen content.
Combustible gas is what we often encounter when using gas detectors. The concept of flammable gas refers to a gas that can be evenly mixed with air (or oxygen) within a certain concentration range to form a premixed gas. It will explode when encountering a fire source. Gases that release large amounts of energy during combustion.
Such gases are ubiquitous in the working environment of petrochemical and chemical manufacturing industries. Our common flammable gases include hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane ( C4H10), ethylene (C2H4), propylene (C3H6), butene (C4H8), acetylene (C2H2), propyne (C3H4), butyne (C4H6), etc.
Toxic gases are gases that are harmful to the human body and can cause poisoning. They are mainly divided into irritating gases (gases that are irritating to the eyes and respiratory mucosa) and asphyxiating gases (gases that can cause hypoxia in the body). Toxic gases (asphyxiating gases can be divided into simple asphyxiating gases, blood asphyxiating gases and cell asphyxiating gases). These gases can directly cause harm to the human body and are also very dangerous. Common toxic gases are carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide. (H2S), ammonia (NH3), chlorine (CL2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitric oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2), etc.
