Why are materials that are explosion-proof utilized in gas detectors?
Whenever a customer purchases a gas detector, the manufacturer always asks what protection level of the instrument needs to be selected, is it an explosion-proof type or a normal type? What kind of working environment is it mainly used in? Many customers will ask: "What is the difference between these two instruments?" Why do gas detectors use explosion-proof grades? In fact, what kind of gas detector to choose is mainly determined by the customer's specific working conditions.
Generally speaking, an explosion-proof gas detector refers to the ability to resist the impact and heat of an explosion without damage. The ordinary type of gas detector cannot be used in dangerous explosion places because it does not use explosion-proof technology. Chemical sites such as coal mines, steel, smelting, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals have always been gathering points for toxic and harmful gases and flammable and explosive gases. If the gas leakage concentration reaches or exceeds the explosion limit, once an open flame or electric spark appears, an explosion accident will occur. Through the above explanation, I think everyone will understand why the gas detector should use explosion-proof level.
In short, when customers purchase gas detectors, if the detection environment is safe, it is enough to choose ordinary gas detectors. If it is used in a dangerous explosion place, choose an instrument with explosion-proof function. It should be noted that the explosion-proof type includes both intrinsically safe type and flameproof type, and customers can choose according to their own needs.
