Industrial Fixed Oxygen (O2) 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 acceptable limit of Oxygen?

A: The acceptable limit of Oxygen concentration in the air varies depending on the context and the specific industry or environment. In most indoor and general outdoor settings, the acceptable Oxygen level is approximately 20.9%, which is the normal O2 concentration in the Earth's atmosphere. However, in certain industrial and confined spaces, the acceptable limit may differ significantly.

For industrial and workplace safety, it is generally required that Oxygen levels remain above 19.5% and below 23.5% under normal working conditions. Oxygen levels below 19.5% can pose a risk of O2 deficiency, leading to dizziness, impaired cognitive function, and potential health hazards. On the other hand, Oxygen levels above 23.5% increase the risk of fire and explosion.

To ensure safety in environments where O2 levels may fluctuate, an Oxygen gas detector is recommended. These gas detectors continuously monitor Oxygen concentrations and provide immediate warnings if levels fall outside the acceptable range, allowing for prompt corrective action to prevent health or safety risks. It's crucial to follow local regulations and industry standards when setting acceptable O2 limits and using gas detectors to maintain a safe environment.
