Gas leaks make up a significant percentage of all home accidents that lead to injuries and fatalities. Improper behavior with the natural gas supply system, as well as other types of flammable and explosive gases, may lead to severe damage to structures and harm to people. Special devices called leak detectors and combustion analyzers are used to detect the presence of flammable gases in the surrounding atmosphere.TPI HXG-2dis a device specifically designed for gas leak detection.
Combustion analyzers monitor the quantity of explosive gas in the air and provide information about the level of gas in the atmosphere. Such devices, however, are poorly calibrated towards small amounts of gas present in the air, and can sometimes not notice minor leaks. These leaks, if accumulated, can lead to an explosion, which can result in casualties. To combat this problem, TPI HXG-2d was introduced to the market. This leak detector has a very sensitive probe, located on the end of a 16†flexible gooseneck, which allows the detection of even smallest concentrations of dangerous gases, starting at 0 ppm, with a sensitivity of 10 ppm. The device features a tick alarm, which correlates to the ppm detected, and allows to pinpoint the source of a small leak. After reaching the level of 990 ppm, the indication turns to LEL percentage, with the tick alarm turning into proper sound alarm. Extremely low detection threshold, incredible sensitivity, and ergonomic design turn this leak detector into a valuable asset for any emergency, fire, or gas service.
