Robot system for remote gas detection in technical facilities
28 March, 2014Detection of gas leaks in industrial facilities can not only be dangerous and time-consuming, it is also susceptible to human error and interpretation. In order to provide a safer, more efficient and more reliable detection solution, RoboGasInspector was conceived. The innovative robot system for remote detection and localisation of gas leaks was developed by a range of German companies and institutes, and uses a FLIR GF320 optical gas imaging camera.

Total cost of ownership considerations for managing a gas detection program
24 July, 2013Purchase decisions related to safety equipment such as gas detection are increasingly moving beyond the immediate needs of the safety manager. While purchase price and features such as durability, ease of use and product reliability remain vitally important to the safety community, organisations are increasingly focusing on total cost of ownership (TCO).
Ventis Slide-on Pump gas-detection instrument
22 May, 2013The Ventis Slide-on Pump is suitable for workers who primarily use the Ventis MX4 multigas detector for personal protection but occasionally require an instrument pump for confined space entries.
