MSA Safety in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania has developed a new gas detector for methane, propane and other combustible substances. The Ultima Open Path Infrared Detector has an infrared source and receiver that provide continuous monitoring for gases in either the 0-to-5000 ppm/metre range or the 0-to-5 LEL/metre range. It includes a digital display, relay contacts, multiple communication outputs and automatic gain control. The detector also has adjustable mounting arms that facilitate setup and alignment. Required maintenance on the detector is minimal. MSA recommends the product for a variety of work environments and applications, including compressor stations, drilling and production platforms, fence-line monitoring and fuel-loading facilities.
