Technical contributionHow to choose your ideal SCBA ? A SCBA is used for all operations in hazardous atmospheres and fire fighting. The ideal SCBA will meet the demands of any application in which it’s used.
The third dimension of multigas detectors More and more in the modern workplace the portable multigas detector is widely relied upon to protect its wearers from the hazards caused by various toxic and flammable gases no matter where they are or what they are doing. For many applications the instrument configuration is most commonly combustible gas, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and oxygen deficiency.
Gas detection when it matters, protection when you need it It is widely recognised that progress never ends, no matter what form and no matter how far. In industry the development is practiced by the manufacturer and is expected by the customer. Be it in the automotive industry the electronics industry, the food industry or any other industry where the improvement of any product can provide a manufacturer with a competitive advantage and therefore the upper hand when it comes to competing in the market place.
The evolution of gas detectors The portable multigas detection instrument is widely relied upon throughout the world to protect its wearers from the hazards caused by various toxic and flammable gasses no matter where they are or what they are doing. For many applications the instrument configuration is most commonly flammable, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and oxygen deficiency. Detection of these four gases covers applications in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, utilities, steel, manufacturing and the fire service. To be an integral part of the safety process in these industries an instrument has to be compact, lightweight, tough and easy to use. Once the gas configuration has been decided upon the type of instrument used has to be considered. In the past multigas detectors were large, heavy, cumbersome devices which had to be worn on a shoulder strap for the main reason that they were far too large to be worn on a belt. As technology progressed so did customer requirements and the main goal was to make instruments more compact.
Catalytic sensors series 47K-ST Flammable gas detectors offer a means for automatic and fast monitoring of an area to warn of potentially hazardous gas and vapour release. In contrast to traditional flame detectors, a flammable gas detector can alarm before an ignition occurs and can contribute to reduce the risk of explosion by initiating the appropriate safety action. Such action could be an automatic shut-off of gas valves, switching on ventilation fans, shutting down a process stream or just actuating audible and visual alarm devices such as horns and beacons to alert and evacuate workers. Most flammable gas detectors employ an electrically heated catalytic element (filament), which oxidizes any combustible gas present that comes into contact with the filament surface.
Fire & Gas Systems Integration Integration of Fire & Gas Networks with IT Systems This article presents an overview of how Fire & Gas Systems can be integrated into mainstream IT systems. An actual application currently in use in the Middle East is used as a case study to show the capabilities and benefits of integrating these systems together. Analysis of the solution shows several benefits for the user. |
