Area tracking devices It concentrates the advantages of a fixed detector in a portable, robust and easy-to-use device. They aim to protect response teams in “gas” risk areas during limited-term development or maintenance work. They have a very long autonomy, up to 100 days for some, and can be interconnected to secure very large environments (oil depots, tunnels, pipelines, etc.).

Field gas monitor: Technical advantages

Unlike portable gas detectors, which are Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), field monitors are collective protective equipment that secure a defined area where several individuals can evolve. These are multi-gas detection equipment that are heavier and more robust than individual detectors, but are easy to transport and implement.

These vehicles, which have a very long autonomy of up to 100 days for some, are often used during technical stoppages in the chemical and petrochemical industries, during the construction or renovation of public works (tunnels, earthworks, drilling), during sewerage or interventions in narrow spaces (sewage, manholes). They are found.

In addition to their large size, field monitors offer many technical advantages: the warning performance is often comprehensive, with strong sound alarms from 100 to 120 dB and a light signal that is visible from a distance and 360°. Some even feature customizable action messages such as “Ventilate” or “Evacuate”, thus strengthening the safety device in case of risks associated with the presence of gas.

Field monitors: gas detected

The most common configurations are 4-gas (explosive gases, O2, CO, H2S), 5-gas PID (explosive gases, O2, CO, H2S, VOC) or 6-gas tunnel (CO, CO2, NO, NO2, O2, SO2).

Various configurations are possible , among them AsH3, B2H6, Br2, Cl2, ClO2, CO, CO2, F2, H2, H2O2, H2S, HBr, HCl, HCN, HF, HNO3, NH3, N2H4, NO, NO2, O2, O3, PH3, SiH4 , SO2 gases as well as all VOCs (acetylene, benzene, butadiene, ethanol, ethylene, isobutylene, ethyl acetate, ethylene oxide, perchlorethylene, styrene, toluene, xylene) and explosive gases (natural gas, LPG, hydrocarbons, alcohols and solvents). There are measurement cells for ).

For calibration, periodic checks or gas testing of gas detectors, we offer a wide range of calibration gases in disposable cylinders complying with the ISO6142 standard.
