Training on the Latest Gas Detection TECHNOLOGY
Catalytic Bead Gas Detectors (CB)
Used to find gas leaks at Lower Explosive Level (LEL) concentrations. They are often used in manufacturing environments and will respond to flammable gases like methane, butane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen.
Open Path Infrared Gas Sensors (OPIR)
These detectors compare the LIL-m and ppm-m ranges to find both small and large gas leaks. They work well for hydride gases, halogenated hydrocarbons, silicones, and hydrocarbon gases in wide open spaces.
Point Infrared Gas Sensors (PIR/NDIR)
By comparing the wavelengths that are gas absorbing and the reference wavelength that is not absorbed, a determination can be made if a gas is present. This is used in low oxygen environments to detect hydrocarbon gases.
Turnable Laser Diode Spectroscopy (TLDS/ELDS)
Gases have a harmonic fingerprint which can be captured with a laser. They are expensive instruments but they can tell you exactly which gas is present and cannot be poisoned being an electronic.
Ultrasonic gas Leak Detectors (UGLD)
These detectors measure accumulated gases coming from a leak. They can sense the sound of an escaping gas. They work well in open spaces and even noisey places because they pick up ultrasonic frequencies. They can detect just about any type of gas leak, although they cannot pinpoint exactly which one.
Micro-electromechanical Based (MEMS)
When multiple gases may be present this is the detector of choice. Using a sensor that measures the changing thermal properties of the gases, by heating it and measuring it with a thermometer. It can detect and indentify light gas, medium gas, heavy gas, methane, and hydrogen.
Electrochemical Gas Detector (EC)
This detector converts gas concentrations into an electric current. It can detect hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and oxygen. It works the best in confined spaces, especially because it can detect an abundance or deficiency in the amount of oxygen.

TRAINING Options
Video Tutorials
Probably the most cost efficient means of getting training on gas detectors is through our video library. We have beginner and advanced training on general gas safety and detection techniques. We also have a library of over 350 different gas detectors that are in use today, and the intricacies of using those instruments safely.
ON-Location
While our most pricey training option, it is also the one where your team will get the most value. We will fly out our certified gas detection trainers to a location of your choice. You will receive training on any equipment you wish in your own work environment. Trainings typically last a week and offer the greatest opportunity for hands-on reinforcement of concepts.
Headquarters
Would you like to pay us a visit and receive training at the Gas Detectors Inc training school? It's a good idea, because we have a wide assortment of hands on training stations to help simulate just about any situation you can think of. We have full scale office, factory, bus, train, airplane, and ship models in which we conduct the trainings. You will also be able to train on the widest range of gas detection instruments and tools.
Telephone consult
It's really important to see the training live, so we don't offer this for first time trainees. But after you have had a training, we are happy to offer support via phone or email. We also have an emergency number ... for well emergencies that is staffed 24 hours a day. In case of an unfortunate incident we are definitely available to help in any way that we can.
