Gas detector for extreme environments
Crowcon has extended its Xgard fixed-point gas detector range with a new stainless steel bodied sensor which provides exceptional corrosion resistance in extreme industrial environments.
Designed for operation in chemically aggressive atmospheresthe new Xgard SS is suitable for gas hazard detection in petrochemical and marine environments.
Although this enclosure is manufactured to a high specification using 316 stainless steel castingsit does not carry a high price premium.
Crowcon says the new enclosure accepts a comprehensive range of sensors for monitoring routinely encountered flammable and toxic gases and oxygen.
Poison-resistant pellistor sensors will detect flammable hydrocarbonshydrogenammonia and jet fuel vapours.
Electrochemical sensors cover all common toxic gasesand thermal conductivity sensors will deliver volumetric concentration readings of gases like methane and CO2.
UL and ATEX certified versions are available for use in potentially explosive atmospheres using either Exd flameproof or Exia intrinsically safe protection concepts.
Special high temperature flammable gas versions will operate at up to 150¢ªC.
Waterproofing accessories provide extra ingress protection to IP66 for outdoor use and protection against washdown or exceptionally wet conditions.
