Gas Leak Detector

Gas Leak Detector

Toxic and combustible gas leaks are dangerous to employees and cause serious damage to facilities, equipment, and property. Emerson’s point gas detection, open path gas detection and ultrasonic gas leak detection safety solutions are designed to continously monitor and detect gas levels and alert personnel of any unsafe conditions.

For point gas detection, portable detectors provide the flexibility to take measurements at multiple locations and are ideal for workers in confined spaces who may not have access to fixed installations. Fixed type sensors are often mounted near a process area of a plant or control room and can be connected to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for continuous monitoring.

Top Features to Look for in a Gas Leak Detector

Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors are unaffected by wind, airflow, or dilution of the target gases. Unlike traditional sensors that measure accumulated gases, these sensors identify fluctuations in noise that would otherwise go undetected by the human ear by detecting ultrasound frequencies at 25 to 100KHz. These sensors can also be used to check for welds and joints on components that are pressurized with a traceable gas.

Gas leak detection instruments can help reduce the risk of exposure to harmful gases and save on repair costs. They are an important safety measure to take at home and in the workplace, as well as to comply with insurance companies’ requirements. Testo’s range of reliable, easy-to-use pressure and leakage meters include a number of models that can be used for fast and accurate testing to detect water and gas leakages. They feature clear measurement menus and a graphical display that makes it simple to select the correct measuring parameters for your application.
