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. Gaseous detection device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_detection_device

   The gaseous detection device (GDD) is a method and apparatus for the detection of signals in the gaseous environment of an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and all scanned beam type of instruments that allow a minimum gas pressure for the detector to operate.

5. Infrared open-path detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_open-path_detector

   An open path detector usually costs more than a single point detector, so there is little incentive for applications that play to a point detector's strengths: where the point detector can be placed at the known location of the highest gas concentration, and a relatively slow response is acceptable. The open path detector excels in outdoor ...

6. Liquefied petroleum gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas

   LPG, vaporised and at atmospheric pressure, has a higher calorific value (46 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 12.8 kWh/m 3) than natural gas (methane) (38 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 10.6 kWh/m 3), which means that LPG cannot simply be substituted for natural gas. In order to allow the use of the same burner controls and to provide for similar combustion ...

7. Micropattern gaseous detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropattern_gaseous_detector

   Micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) are a group of gaseous ionization detectors consisting of microelectronic structures with sub-millimeter distances between anode and cathode electrodes. When interacting with the gaseous medium of the detector, particles of ionizing radiation create electrons and ions that are subsequently drifted apart by ...
