Protects workers from VOCs and H2S
10 March 2014
Crowcon’s new Gas-Pro PID portable gas detector, part of the popular Gas-Pro range, detects a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in many industrial applications.

VOCs are not only highly flammable, they pose a toxic hazard at very low concentrations – well below the lower explosive limit of the VOCs. H2S, also detected by PID, is likewise extremely toxic at very low concentrations.
Materials containing VOCs include acetone, benzene, paints, solvents, degreasers, plastics, resins and certain fuels – these occur in industries ranging from petrochemicals, oil refining, pulp and paper and aviation. H2S often occurs in oil refineries in a toxic mix with VOCs.
Of ergonomic design and water and dust resistant to IP65, Gas-Pro PID features a top-mount, easy-to-read display for quick decision making. It monitors up to five gases and has a PID correction factor – set to target VOCs. It also features +ve Safety; tri-colour status indication.
