Fixed Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) Gas Detector

Gas Detection Q&A - For Your Safety Environments

Built-in advanced gas detector sensor and sound & light alarm to ensure precise and safe gas detection in hazardous applications.

Q: What is the difference between fixed and portable gas detector?

A: Fixed gas detectors and portable gas detectors serve the common purpose of monitoring and detecting the presence of hazardous and toxic gases in various environments, but they differ in their design, applications, and functionalities.

Fixed gas detectors are permanently installed in a specific location to continuously monitor for the presence of hazardous gases. They are commonly used in industrial settings like manufacturing plants and refineries, where the risk of gas leaks or exposure is constant. Fixed gas detectors provide real-time data, can be wired into existing alarm systems, and are often used for compliance with safety regulations.

On the other hand, portable gas detectors are handheld devices designed for on-the-go use by workers in various industries, including first responders and utility workers. They provide flexibility in monitoring gas levels in different locations and are particularly useful for confined spaces or remote areas. Portable gas detectors typically offer visual and audible alarms and can be worn or carried by personnel.
