Continuous monitoring of the atmosphere within a confined space has always been considered a best practice, but is difficult and often impractical to implement. In this Ask John we answer the question about how the flexibility of wireless gas detectors is changing the way we test the atmosphere inside confined spaces. Previously, the attendant assigned […]
Is a gas detector with pump better than a non-pumped gas detector?
Some people believe a gas detector with pump is far better – that no pump means less accuracy, slower response, and it simply won’t detect as much gas. FACT: A gas detector with pump doesn’t mean it is more accurate, responds quicker or covers more area around you. But it will make some tasks much […]
Benzene Exposure – How to Detect it & Basics of Benzene Seminar
Executive Summary Benzene exposure is associated with cancer, aplastic anaemia, and more. Detecting benzene exposure is complex, but has been mastered by Ion Science. Entec sells Ion Science PID gas detectors for benzene, VOC & TAC in New Zealand. Ion Science and Entec invite you to “The Basics of Benzene“ seminar in New Plymouth on […]
How many gas detectors do you need to buy? Here’s how to increase efficiency & save money…
Nobody wants to buy gas detectors. But buying the right gear is a critical part of making sure your staff are safe and get to see their families each night. Nobody wants to buy safety equipment, including gas detectors. But selecting and buying the appropriate gear is a critical part of making sure your teams […]
Simplify Gas Detection With All-in-One Kits
Here’s how to simplify your workplace gas detection practices with Entec’s new Ventis MX4 portable gas detector all-in-one kits… Portable gas detectors are designed to be reliable and rugged, and of course they are designed to keep people safe from flammable or toxic gas hazards. They do, however, require a bit of organisation in order […]
Gas Detection Seminar Recap: “Innovate 2017 – Gas Detection Advances”
Last month we ran two gas detection seminars with Industrial Scientific. The 4-hour technical seminars explored the latest technology & coming innovations. Part of an international gas detection seminar series New Zealand was the first international stop on Industrial Scientific’s worldwide seminar tour. First up was
Gas detector rental & the inextricable link with plant turnarounds
How much do you know about the inextricable link between gas detector rental and safety conditions during plant turnarounds and maintenance shutdowns? Plant turnarounds and maintenance shutdowns are different, but not that different. The terms tend to be used interchangeably but there are subtle differences. It is useful to understand the difference between the use […]
Where should I mount the sensors for my fixed-point gas detection system?
The purpose of installing a fixed-point gas detection system is to detect the presence of harmful or potentially harmful gases in the environment before they reach a dangerous level – either through toxicity or flammability.
New area gas monitor by Industrial Scientific is the bz knz?
Why is Industrial Scientific’s new Radius BZ1 area gas monitor the bee’s knees? John Langslow is Entec’s gas detection manager – here’s what he says… Area gas monitors: Plant operators use area gas monitors for increased safety monitoring in specific areas. An area gas monitor is best used in…
How to wirelessly connect gas detectors to form a local network
With Industrial Scientific’s new LENS Wireless connectivity, gas detectors are wirelessly connected to form a local network for the ultimate in protection. Portable gas detectors and area gas detectors alert you to a detected gas hazard with an audible and visual alarm. Anyone within the immediate vicinity is thereby alerted and a chain of responses […]
