New confined space entry gas detector at Offshore Europe show

Published: 03 August, 2011

Crowcon will be showing its new Gas-Pro confined space entry gas detector at the Offshore Europe show in Aberdeen between 6-8 September.

The Gas-Pro has a number of special features that make it ideal for confined space use, including a top-mount display, an internal pump, five-gas capability and positive safety (tri-colour status indicator).

Other new products will be on show including the IRmax infrared (IR) hydrocarbon fixed gas detector and an ATEX approved LaserMethane mini Gen2 (LMm) portable methane detector.

The IRmax is an ultra-compact IR gas detector which delivers rapid, fail-safe detection of hydrocarbon gases with very low power consumption. Far smaller and lighter than comparable IR detectors, the IRmax is easy to install in even the most inaccessible locations and its remote display feature makes it extremely versatile.

The second generation LMm is designed to detect methane at a distance of up to 100 metres in seconds and has turned what used to be a time consuming and potentially hazardous procedure into a quick and easy one.
