Gas Detection Systems Could Save Your Life

Whilst we rely on our senses to inform us of most irregularities around us

, some gases are odourless. Relying on the smell of a gas leak is extremely dangerous practise. If you are in an environment where the release of hazard gas could be likely, then installing a gas detection system is advisable. A gas detection system could save serious personal injury or even death. It could also help avoid a fire or fatal explosion.

There are two types of hazardous gases that detective systems can discover - Flammable and Toxic. Both of these gaseous classes can be detected with several types of detectors. Read on for an overview of both flammable and toxic gases as well as the appropriate detectors.

When combined with air or concentrated oxygen (in certain amounts) flammable gases can become ignited or explode. Flammable gases include; Acetylene, Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia, Methane, Butane and Hydrogen. If you have the need to install a flammable gas detector within your home or workplace, it is recommended you also install the appropriate fire suppression systems and extinguishers too.

Toxic gases include; Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, Arsine, Arsenic, Nitrogen Oxide Gas, Propylene, Propane, Bromine, Carbon Monoxide, Hydride, Hydrogen Sulphide, and Sulphur dioxide. Each of these gases will have a different set of symptoms on any person that comes into contact with them, sometimes very serious. All toxic gases can cause serious health implications. It is not worth taking the risk of a toxic gas leak. If you work or live nearby an environment using toxic gases then install a gas detector soon.

For the detection of flammable gases use one of the following systems; a 'catalyst combustible gas sensor' or 'single/multi-channel gas detector'. To confirm the emission of toxic gases in your workplace or at home then use a 'toxic gas sensor'.
