OIA-SDPUMP by Otis Link

The Otis Instruments WireFree OIA-SDPUMP measures the gas concentration in the head-space of a tank before opening the thief hatch. The instrument draws in an air sample at a configurable period (for example every 15 minutes), allowing the sensor to report back the present gas concentration that may be present. A message is sent to…

Gas and Flame Gas Detection for Complete Safety

Lower explosive limits (LELs) are the lowest concentration of a gas or vapor in ambient air that can ignite an explosion. Because of the amount of risk associated with flammable and explosive gases and the problematic confined space entry regulations, detectors that keep LELs in mind are seen as the go-to technology for flammable gases. …

Worker Distress Reduced with Gas Detection Solutions

There are many industries that utilize chemicals and toxic gases within their procedures, which can lead to certain dangers and health hazards. If not properly monitored, workers experience various symptoms, some of which are lethal, when exposed to toxic gas being used.
