When you are in a factory, refinery, pipeline or any other hazardous work environment there are many different things that need to be monitored and kept at the highest level.  Failure to monitor and treat them can lead to devastating accidents, but with some clever technology, such as gas detectors, so you can make sure you are always aware of any gas that is permeating your workspace thus ensuring safety.

When using the fixed combustible gas detector, it is inevitable that there will be some failures. Then, why do these failures occur, and how can we troubleshoot them? The following are simple examples of several troubleshooting methods.
In the process of using the combustible gas detector, it should not be installed close to the air conditioner and heating equipment. If the cold or warm air directly flows to the gas detector, it may cause the change of electrical resistivity of the alarm platinum wire and then the error occurs. Therefore, the alarm should be located far away from air conditioners and heating equipment to avoid the gas detector failures caused by improper placement.

Gas detector is an instrument for detecting the concentration of gas leakage, including portable gas detector, hand-held gas detector, fixed gas detector, online gas detector, etc. It mainly uses a gas sensor to detect the types of gases present in the environment, and the gas sensor is a sensor used to detect the composition and content of the gas.

Fixed gas detector is mainly used in workshop, laboratory and other places that need to detect gas leakage. So the proper installation of the fixed gas detector will safeguard the life of workers. The following are some tips for the installation and use of the fixed gas detector for your reference. The gas detector has its own requirements for the environmental conditions including humidity, temperature, pressure and other basic conditions. Generally, the factory environment is appropriate and the gas detector can be installed directly.

Gas detector is a kind of instrument widely used to detect the trace presence of toxic gas or inflammable and explosive gas in the air. Because of its characteristics such as high sensitivity and high precision, it ensures the safety of users or applicable fields. Gas leak detector is one of the equipment in great demand in specific fields at present. So what are the main application fields of the gas detector?

The gas detectors are typically applied in the exploration drilling platforms, production platforms, onshore oil and gas terminal stations, refineries, etc. And it is often used to detect the inflammable and explosive gases like Hydrocarbon gas, and toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and so on.

A gas detector is an instrument used for the gas leakage concentration detection. The gas detector works mainly by using gas sensor inside to detect the presence of gas in the environment. The gas sensor serves as a reference point or scale which is the core part of gas leak detectors. Different gas sensors can react to different gases, so that the gas detector can detect different types and concentrations of gases. When the detected gas concentration exceeds the preset value, the alarm will sound to warm the user. So, it is an essential part of safety system to safe guard your life.

Combustible gas has certain characteristics of diffusion. In order to prevent the accidents caused by combustible gas leakage, the key lies in effectively controlling its continuous diffusion. Moreover, flammable gases will spread quickly driven by external forces. As a result, burning and explosion will take place. How to prevent the occurrence of this kind of accidents? What we need to do is often detecting the concentration of combustible gas whether it exceed the standard. Once the concentration exceeds the standard, give an alarm quickly and we take actions immediately. Here combustible gas detector plays an important role.
A combustible gas detector is a detector that monitor the concentration of single or multiple combustible gases and give an alarm. Combustible gas detectors are mainly divided into two types, catalytic type and infrared optical type base on the working principle.

A gas detector or gas monitor is a device to detect the concentration of a gas in one area. It is widely used to monitor the leakage of gas and give an alarm to ensure the safety of life and production. ATO offers a series of gas detectors to monitor the leakage of ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, hydrogen etc. There are two types - portable and fixed - for different requirements of applications. In addition, the portable gas detectors are available for diffusion-type and pump-type. Here is listed some features and prices of ATO gas detectors for your reference.

ATO gas detector features

• Adopt high-accuracy sensor with high precise detection.
• Two-stage alarm with sound and light, and alarm point is settable.
• With display, easy to readout.
• Rugged and durable housing.
• Portable gas detectors has rechargeable lithiumpolymer battery with large capacity.

Gas detectors are widely used in petrochemical, environmental protection, gasoline, coal mining and other industries. For all kinds of different safety production occasions and testing requirements, the selection of a suitable gas detector must be very important for every person engaged in safety and health work.
First of all, confirm the type and concentration range of the gas to be tested. The type of gas encountered in each production department is different. All possible situations should be considered when selecting a gas detector.
Then, choose differet types of gas detector based on industrial environment - fixed gas detector and portable gas detector.

The gas analyzer is a flow analysis instrument for the measured gas composition. In many production processes, especially those with chemical reactions, it is often not enough to automatically control processes according to physical parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow. There are many kinds of gas analyzers due to the diversity of the gas types being analyzed and the analytical principles. The commonly used gas analyzers include infrared gas analyzers, laser gas analyzers, ultraviolet gas analyzers, thermal conductivity gas analyzers, electrochemical gas analyzers, etc. The gas detector is a kind of gas leak concentration detection instrument, including portable gas detector, handheld gas detector, fixed gas detector, online gas detector. The following is an introduction to the difference between a gas analyzer and a gas detector
