The Fundamentals of Portable Gas Detection

Flammable and toxic gas detection instruments are generally available in two different formats: portable (spot reading) detectors and fixed (permanently sited) monitors. Selecting which is most appropriate for a particular application depends on several factors. Including how often the area is accessed by personnel, site conditions, whether the hazard is permanent or transitory, how often testing is needed, and last but not least, the availability of finances.

We’ve teamed up with Honeywell BW to present you with essential information on portable gas detectors. Check out our webinar on this topic:
