Meet the next generation of portable flammable gas detection

Any failure to accurately detect flammable gases can put assets, raw materials – and, of course, human lives – in danger.  Traditional gas detection technology is usually calibrated to measure a single flammable species, ignoring or inaccurately reading other gases. This causes false and masked alarms, which increase risk and cost your company time, resource and money.

What’s more, catastrophic events are all too common. In just one year (2019/20) there were 41 industrial explosions or fires, which between them killed eight people. Clearly, the need for robust detection of flammable gases remains strong, and is crucial to industrial safety. Improvements in gas detection are therefore to be welcomed.

Crowcon has now integrated the latest MPS™ (molecular property spectrometer) sensors into their portable and fixed single gas detector range. Sensors with MPS™ have TrueLEL™ multi-gas accuracy, and can simultaneously detect over 15 different flammable gases with a single sensor, in any mix, including hydrogen. With no chemical reaction when it detects combustible gas, and no drift over long periods, the MPS sensor does not require calibration. This reduces the total cost of ownership while improving safety and operational efficiency.

It is also poison resistant and failsafe, regardless of environmental conditions, including in 100% humidity and not impacted by high saturation, compared to existing sensor technologies. What’s more, Crowcon’s portable flammable gas detector with MPS™ sensor fitted has a greatly improved battery life and can be taken into Zone 0 environments. It is truly the trusted ‘take anywhere’ flammable gas detector that your applications demand.
