What Is a Flammable Gas Detector?
A flammable gas detector is a device used to monitor or detect the presence of hazardous, combustible gases, such as natural gas, chlorine, methane, carbon monoxide, propane, and butane. These devices can be either portable hand-held devices or fixtures in a home, office, or facility. They are often used to detect leaks in gas lines, pipes, appliances, and storage tanks. Some are calibrated for a specific type of gas, while multi-gas detectors can sense the presence of various types of gases. A flammable gas detector may use one of many types of sensors, including catalytic bead sensors, explosimeters, or infrared devices.
