To enhance safety for workers in hazardous areas, our manufacturing partner, Crowcon, has just launched new functionalities for its Gas-Pro portable detectors, making them ideal for gold processing applications.
The upgrades include:
- A new gas sensor for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) (0–30 ppm with resolution of 0.1 ppm) – ideal for people working with electroplating, nitrile production and ship fumigation, and in chemical plants and gold mining.
- TWA Resume function, which retains TWA logs even when the device is switched off (eg during breaks or meals) – ensuring workers are never over-exposed to harmful gas.
- In-field pellistor changes for methane, hydrogen, propane, ethane, acetylene (0–100% LEL, with resolution of 1% LEL) – providing the flexibility to conveniently test for a range of flammable gases, without needing multiple sensors or detectors.
Crowcon Product Manager Ed Clapham said, “We’ve always been proud of the Gas-Pro range because it offers a one-stop solution for a wide range of oxygen, flammable and toxic gas hazards, and the new features make it even better.
“The TWA Resume function, which was originally only found in our T4 model, makes a great contribution to workplace safety that simply isn’t found in many other detectors. And while hydrogen cyanide is not a well-known gas, it is exceptionally toxic, so the new sensor will be vital in many settings.”
About the Gas-Pro Series
Offering detection of up to five gases in a compact and robust solution, Gas-Pro has an easy-to-read top mount display combining ease of use and user focused features.
An optional internal pump, activated with the flow plate, takes the pain out of pre-entry testing and allows Gas-Pro to be worn either in pumped or diffusion modes.
