A gas detector is a device that detects the presence of gases in an area, often as part of a safety system. A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave.
The magnitude of the current is controlled by how much of the target gas is oxidized at the working electrode. Sensors are usually designed so that the gas supply is limited by diffusion, and thus the output from the sensor is linearly proportional to the gas concentration. This linear output is one of the advantages of electrochemical sensors ...
The term "gas proportional detector" (GPD) is generally used in radiometric practice, and the property of being able to detect particle energy is particularly useful when using large area flat arrays for alpha and beta particle detection and discrimination, such as in installed personnel monitoring equipment.
Ninhydrin (2,2-dihydroxyindane-1,3-dione) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO) 2 C(OH) 2.It is used to detect ammonia and amines.Upon reaction with these amines, ninhydrin gets converted into deep blue or purple derivatives, which are called Ruhemann's purple.
The XM-2 personnel detector manpack, also known as the E63 manpack personnel detector, [3] was the first version of the people sniffer employed by the Army. The XM-2 featured a backpack mounted sensor with an air intake tube on the end of a rifle.
An explosive gas leak detector is a device used to detect explosive gas leaks in enclosed spaces. Typically, a local alarm will be triggered, and optionally a remote alarm may also be connected. Typically, a local alarm will be triggered, and optionally a remote alarm may also be connected.
Nessler's reagent tests for the presence of ammonia; Ninhydrin tests for ammonia or primary amines; Phosphate tests test for phosphate; The sodium fusion test tests for the presence of nitrogen, sulfur, and halides in a sample; The Zerewitinoff determination tests for any acidic hydrogen; The Oddy test tests for acid, aldehydes, and sulfides
Ammonia solution, also known as ammonia water, ammonium hydroxide, ammoniacal liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH 3 (aq). Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests a salt with the composition [NH + 4][OH −
