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...

  Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas that appears green/yellow and has a pungent, suffocating smell associated to the smell of bleach. Chlorine is in the ‘halogens’ gas family, alongside fluorine, bromine, and iodine. It is a toxic and corrosive gas that can irritate the human eyes and respiratory system. Chlorine doesn’t burn but supports combustion, similar to oxygen.     The creation of Chlorine dates back to the presence of ...

  Methane as gas is colourless and odourless. However, it is highly flammable. The compound is made of carbon-hydrogen. Methane is slightly soluble in water and burns readily in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapour. One of methane's most significant risks is its flammability, as it can cause deadly explosions resulting in disasters in confined spaces like mines. Methane (CH4) is commonly known to be a greenhouse gas that has a negative impact...

  Hydrogen (H2) is the first element in the periodic table. It is the most basic atom, consisting of a single proton in the nucleus orbited by a single electron. The lightest of the elements, hydrogen, is also the most abundant in the universe. At typical temperatures and pressures, hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. It's also extremely combustible, with an undetectable flame.   Because hydrogen is a highly flammable fue...

  Pentane (CH512) gas is colourless and smells gasoline-like. Like methane, butane and ethane, pentane is a hydrocarbon and makes up part of natural gas. Hydrocarbons are found in natural gas and are used to create fossil fuels.  As well as the other hydrocarbon group, pentane can go through hydrocarbon combustion that gives off heat. However, unlike the other hydrocarbons, pentane is removed from fossil fuels before being provided to society as an...

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...

  Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is a colourless gas but has a very strong smell of rotten eggs. It is an asphyxiant, flammable and explosive gas risk, making it a hazardous gas. H2S exists naturally and is produced by human and animal waste, exists naturally in volcanic gases, and is a by-product of industrial activity. It is very toxic by inhalation. H2S has a melting point of -85.7 Celsius and a boiling point of -60.2 Celcius.     H2S affects t...

Ammonia (NH3) is a colourless gas, that consists of Nitrogen and Hydrogen. It has a pungent odour that is frequently compared to cleaning chemicals. Ammonia is created in soil by bacterial activities as part of the nitrogen cycle. Ammonia can be found in the air, soil, and water, as well as in plants and animals, including people. Many home and commercial detergents also contain ammonia. Ammonia can irritate and burn the skin, mouth, throat, lungs, a...

  Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is a heavy, colourless, poisonous gas that smells pungent - like a match when first lit and is deemed a toxic and corrosive chemical. Sulphur Dioxide is a combination of sulphur and oxygen created predominately through sulphuric acid manufacturing and combustion of sulphur fuels. 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 ...

  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...

  Use our collection of Gas Profiles to find out about each gas and the hazards they hold. Our pages go into depth about target gases and provide information such as their Workplace Exposure Limits. You can also find products linked that are calibrated to target that gas.     The gases have been sorted in alphabetical order. Use our colour-coded Gas Icon Key to determine whether gas is Toxic, Flammable, a VOC or Exotic. A B C D ...

  Oxygen (O2) is a colourless, odourless reactive gas. It is the most prevalent element in the earth's crust, mostly in oxides, silicates, and carbonates, and makes up just under 21% of the atmosphere. In addition to its usage as a respiratory gas in healthcare, oxygen possesses strong oxidising capabilities that can assist various businesses by increasing yields, enhancing performance, lowering costs, and lowering carbon emissions compared to alternativ...

Risks of Hydrogen in the Power Industry The use of hydrogen as an energy source is not new. Historically, it has been used to power combustion engines or as a rocket fuel or gas turbine component to generate electricity. Refineries in the oil and gas sector use the extra hydrogen produced by the catalytic reforming of naphtha as fuel for other unit operations. In addition, various processes can result in the production of hydrogen. For instance, in the chemical industry, chlorine production produ...

  Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a liquid; hydrogen peroxide has no discernible colour or scent.  Hydrogen peroxide is usually found in a water solution instead of its pure form due to its instability and potential for explosion.  Deodorants, water and sewage treatment, rocket fuels, disinfection, and the production of other chemicals all make use of this versatile oxidising and bleaching agent. Hydrogen peroxide mainly causes local irritation at the ...

  Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring, odourless, colourless gas composed of three molecules of oxygen (O3). It happens in the stratosphere above Earth and the troposphere close to the surface.
