The centralised gas detector servicing model is a new paradigm, enabled by big data and the cloud, that is driving service levels up and costs down. The data being generated, captured and used in our daily lives has increased massively. Terms such as “big data”, “internet of things” (IoT) and “cloud computing” are now common. […]
How are wireless gas detectors changing confined space entries?
Continuous monitoring of the atmosphere within a confined space has always been considered a best practice, but is difficult and often impractical to implement. In this Ask John we answer the question about how the flexibility of wireless gas detectors is changing the way we test the atmosphere inside confined spaces. Previously, the attendant assigned […]
Is a gas detector with pump better than a non-pumped gas detector?
Some people believe a gas detector with pump is far better – that no pump means less accuracy, slower response, and it simply won’t detect as much gas. FACT: A gas detector with pump doesn’t mean it is more accurate, responds quicker or covers more area around you. But it will make some tasks much […]
Where should I mount the sensors for my fixed-point gas detection system?
The purpose of installing a fixed-point gas detection system is to detect the presence of harmful or potentially harmful gases in the environment before they reach a dangerous level – either through toxicity or flammability.
