Gas leaks, by their nature, are often hard to pinpoint. They’re invisible and can dissipate quickly. However, relatively low levels in confined spaces can create explosion hazards. We’ve been looking ...

Catalytic bead LEL sensors need a certain level of oxygen to correctly read combustible gas up to 100% LEL. The catalytic bead lower explosive limit (CB LEL) sensor is widely used for combustible gas ...

A few months ago, we discussed seven combustion testing skills of elite service technicians. The first skill to master was the most obvious — combustion testing. The gases that a combustion analyzer ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX.V: BLN), a global leader of gas detection and connected safety solutions, has partnered with NevadaNano, a developer and manufacturer of ...

Is there a difference between “gas sniffers” and “combustible gas leak detectors”? Short answer: No. When a technician asks for a “gas sniffer,” they might typically be looking for a basic, low-cost ...

Safety is important for many industries, from manufacturing and construction to chemical processing and oil refineries. A primary responsibility is ensuring employees are secure and that expensive ...

Plant operators have used combustion flue gas analysis for decades as a method of optimizing boiler combustion fuel/air ratios. By measuring the amount of excess oxygen and/or carbon monoxide (CO) in ...

In the confined work spaces found in chemical plants, paper mills, refineries, underground mines and utility passageways, the air may be contaminated with toxic or combustible gases or suffer from a ...

The pursuit of more efficient, low-emission power generation continues to drive research into gas turbine combustion and plasma-assisted technologies. Gas turbines remain a cornerstone in various ...
