A gas detector for personal protection is available for you. Our mini - gas detector detects e.g. the following gases: Methane, oxygen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide. The gas detector / gas test instrument offers an impressive protection on site for persons who are in gas endangered surroundings. If your life depends on it, then you want to have a reliable gas detection instrument available that warns you safely and reliably.
The gas detection instrument is mainly used in production, in tunnels and on construction sites and guarantees absolute personal safety. We also offer gas sensors for fixed installation (as a "stand-alone version" or in combination with a gas warning system). So you can not only protect individuals, but also monitor entire rooms or buildings. Of course, the gas detector complies with all currently valid specifications for intrinsic safety and device protection (ATEX). The purpose of the ATEX directive is to protect people working in potentially explosive atmospheres. More information on this can be found at the end of this page. Inaccessible areas, such as tanks or unventilated rooms, hold great dangers.
Gas detectors warn of gas hazards by means of optical and acoustic signals. The sensor and the evaluation unit are technologically and structurally very well matched to each other and ensure reliable measurement results of the pollutants. Gases such as methane, propane, pentane, butane etc. are hydrocarbon compounds which can only be ignited with oxygen in certain mixing ratios. The measuring ranges of the sensors for flammable gases are set to the lower explosion limit (LEL) of the respective gas in order to warn the people working there of the emerging danger of an explosion. Hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, ammonia, cyanide, etc. are toxic gases for humans and animals.
A low concentration of hydrogen sulphide or carbon monoxide is sufficient to cause life threatening damage or death. Carbon monoxide, for example, is a colourless and odourless gas that cannot be taken seriously by the human sense organs. In the lungs, carbon monoxide binds to the red blood cells in place of oxygen and thus prevents the transport of oxygen into the cells. But not only the poisonous gases are dangerous, too much oxygen can also be dangerous.
An increased oxygen content in the air increases the fire risk considerably due to its fire-promoting effect. An oxygen content of more than 24 vol. % can cause oil-soaked cloths to ignite spontaneously, cause a fire and its spread is considerably accelerated by its fire-promoting effect. At PCE Deutschland GmbH you will find a wide range of gas detectors and gas warning devices for various applications. All gas detection instruments are tested and correspond to all current standards and regulations and can be used without any problems in safety relevant applications.
The main area of application for portable and stationary gas detection instruments is in personal protection and the safeguarding of plant capital in oil and gas production or supply and storage, steel production, water and wastewater treatment, the beverage industry and the maritime sector. However, even outside these core areas there are always interesting and challenging tasks that our technicians and engineers successfully handle. For example, the control of fumigation systems to produce fruit ripeness.
Consulting, project planning, commissioning planning, sales, installation, start-up, maintenance, calibration, service, emergency support - a long list - but it is not just empty words - PCE Instruments supports the customer from A-Z.
Consulting / Project Engineering / Commissioning Planning
In the foreground of these first planning steps are the needs of the customer as well as the technical feasibility (compliance with current guidelines and laws). Our technicians and engineers are familiar with most of the hazards caused by toxic or flammable gases, lack of oxygen or excess oxygen in the machining processes of the various industries and can propose adequate solutions for the detection of these gases or vapours. The project planning of the gas warning system is based on plans and information provided or, if necessary, on an on-site visit to the object in question.
Installation / Commissioning
Service technicians of PCE Instruments install the components, carry out the cabling and test runs with test gas.
The commissioning of the stationary gas detection instrument is carried out according to the manufacturers' guidelines and the relevant regulations of the professional associations (leaflets T021 and T023). The calibration gases used by PCE for commissioning and adjustment of the gas warning instruments are adjusted in concentration to the measuring ranges as well as to the individual requirements and are provided with a calibration certificate.
Maintenance / Calibration
Cleaning, maintenance and regular re-calibration of the gas detection instrument is carried out by PCE Instruments at the Freienohl factory or, in case of permanently installed systems, directly on site at the customer. The gas detection instrumentsare calibrated by PCE have test seals, which give the customer the information, when the device was calibrated / maintained and when it has to be recalibrated. The calibration or recalibration is carried out with certified calibration gases whose concentration is adjusted to the respective measuring range of the sensors.
In addition, PCE Instruments sends a reminder to the respective customer 6 weeks before the end of the calibration period. Thus, in advance, appointments, possibly provision of loaned devices for the calibration period or, in case of stationary gas warning technology, maintenance and calibration dates can be arranged with our field service.
Emergency support
Gas warning instruments / gas detection instruments must be available at any time. No matter whether it is a hand-held measuring device or a stationary gas warning system. A defective device has no use. In some companies, the failure or defect of the gas warning technology leads to the shutdown of machines and systems.
This loss of production sometimes costs enormous sums of money. In these cases PCE Instruments always advises to use a portable gas detection instrument or a redundant gas warning system during design and planning.
Because also the point of economic efficiency in many cases does not allow a redundant design of the systems, PCE Instruments offers a service, which allows the customer to get a replacement device within a few hours (depending on the location in Europe), which will be put into operation by a PCE service technician directly on site. This special offer requires an additional service contract with the customer.
