2. Gas detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

   A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion.

3. Explosive gas leak detector - Wikipedia

   A detector for propane is best placed down low near the floor, as propane is heavier than air. [3] A detector for natural gas (city gas) is best placed up high, near the ceiling. [3] Some detectors can detect both natural gas or propane, but this requires a compromise location. [4]

   The alarms will still alert you 100% of the time if a natural gas or carbon monoxide leak occurs, according to the manufacturer. For more smart consumer news coverage, please sign up for our free ...

5. Infrared open-path detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_open-path_detector

   For portable use, detectors have also been made which use the natural albedo of surrounding objects in place of the retroreflector. The presence of a chosen gas (or class of gases) is detected from its absorption of a suitable infrared wavelength in the beam. Rain, fog etc. in the measurement path can also reduce the strength of the received ...

6. Photoionization detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoionization_detector

   The photoionization detector is an efficient and inexpensive detector for many gas and vapor analytes. PIDs produce instantaneous readings, operate continuously, and are commonly used as detectors for gas chromatography or as hand-held portable instruments. Hand-held, battery-operated versions are widely used in military, industrial, and ...

7. Flame ionization detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_ionization_detector

   The design of the flame ionization detector varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the principles are the same. Most commonly, the FID is attached to a gas chromatography system. The eluent exits the gas chromatography column (A) and enters the FID detector’s oven (B). The oven is needed to make sure that as soon as the eluent exits ...
