Compact gas detector
July 1st 2010 The new Draeger X-am 5600 is
believed to be the smallest portable
gas detection instrument for the
measurement of up to six gases.
With an ergonomic mobile phone
design, it has infrared sensor
technology and provides accurate,
reliable measurements of explosive,
combustible and toxic gases and
vapours, as well as oxygen.
Suitable for personal monitoring
applications, the lightweight yet
robust detector is designed for
single-handed operation in tough
industrial environments and is ATEX
approved for use in explosive areas
classified as Zone 0.
By using a combination of
Draeger IR sensors and the latest
Draeger XXS miniaturised
electrochemical
sensors, the X-am
5600 can detect a
wide variety of
hazards. These
include O2, CO,
H2S, H2, CO2, Cl2,
HCN, NH3, NO,
NO2, PH3, SO2
and organic
vapours.
Immune to
poisons such as
H2S, the IR
sensors offer a low
cost of ownership
and only require
calibration every 12 months. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
