Know your gases?
February 1st 2010 Entry into confined spaced or areas
where explosive or toxic
gases may be present
demand that a gas
monitor is worn.
Usually these explosive
gas include Methane,
Oxygen depletion,
Carbon Monoxide
and Hydrogen
Sulphide. But not
always.
Frequently solvents
or Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs)
are present. Other

Chlorine, Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur
Dioxide etc. may be present or
Carbon Dioxide may pose a threat.
With the capability to measure up
to 6 gases in one compact personal
monitor the PHD6 from Shawcity is

There are 18 different sensor
options
and a mixture of sensor
technology can be
accommodated. A Photoionisation
Detector (PID) is
available for VOC
measurement. Infra-red

conventional LEL, Oxygen
plus 15 different toxic sensors.
