A marine gas detector is designed to monitor a variety of gases aboard a ship. They can detect combustible or toxic gases and provide crew members with early warning of dangerous situations so that they can evacuate the area before it is too late. Whether used on a cruise ship, cargo vessel, or submarine, a marine composite gas detector can help save lives at sea.
These detectors can measure the concentration of a range of gases, including oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide. They are typically made of stainless steel and have a durable casing to ensure they can handle the rough conditions on board a ship. They are also designed to be easily connected to other safety systems onboard, providing a continuous and accurate measurement of the atmosphere.
Monitoring Carbon Monoxide: Low-Level Detectors for Enhanced Safety
Many marine applications generate high humidity and dirty environments, making them difficult for standard portable detectors to operate in. As such, marine-specific sensors and accessories are required to keep the equipment functioning in these harsh conditions.
One important accessory for marine vessels is a carbon monoxide (CO) detector, which can prevent CO leaks from occurring in sleeping quarters or living spaces. These sensors use a special wire with a small electrical current passing through it that changes in resistance when exposed to carbon monoxide. When the sensor is triggered, it activates an alarm to warn anyone in the area of the dangerous gases.
Keeping your marine gas detector working properly requires regular testing and calibration. Look for models with a test button to make it easy to ensure they are operating correctly. Alternatively, you can connect them to a cloud-connected Drager X-dock test station, which automates the process and provides fleet managers with accurate and efficient data.
