In order to ensure the safe and accurate operation of Portable Gas Detectors, they need to be periodically calibrated against reference test gases that are traceable to National Physical Laboratory standards. The recommended calibration period for most gas detectors is six months although the frequency may need to be increased where continual exposure to the target gases is experienced. Between calibrations it is also recommended that the response of the detector is checked using an...

  Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas with a sour taste and a mild harsh odour. It is one of the most important greenhouse gases linked to global warming, but it is a minor component of the Earth's atmosphere (about 3 volumes in 10,000), formed in the combustion of carbon-containing materials, fermentation, and animal respiration, and used by plants in carbohydrate photosynthesis.   Jan Baptista van Helmont, a Belgian scientist, ident...

Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) is a chemical asphyxiant with a musky and almond-like smell that is slightly light blue in colour. However, some people often cannot smell it, making it even more dangerous as people can often not be aware of its presence, regardless of the concentration levels. Hydrogen Cyanide also mixes very well with air and can create a hazardous explosive mixture. HCN's boiling point is 26 celsius and its melting point is -13 Celcius.  Hydrogen...

  Organic Vapours (OV) are liquids of a petroleum base that evaporate and create a vapour in the air. They are carbon-based and dissolve other substances. They are most common in the construction and manufacturing industries as they are a by-product of the manufacturing of many household and industrial products.  Organic vapours can come from products such as gasoline, solvent-based epoxy and paint thinner but are also more commonly used to manufac...

It has a melting point of -75.5 Celcius and a boiling point of -10.    Applications such as coal and electric power plants, oil refineries ...

  Benzene (C6H6) is a colourless or light yellow liquid at room temperature. It immediately dissipates into the atmosphere. Because its vapour is heavier than air, it may settle in low-lying places. In terms of production volume, it is among the top 20 chemicals and is hugely used in the United States. In several sectors, Benzene is utilised in manufacturing polymers, resins, nylon, and synthetic fibres. It can also make lubricants, rubbers, dyes, deter...
