Ammonia Gas Detectors

Ammonia, also known as ammonium hydroxide, is a solvent commonly used in cleaning products although it can also be found as an ingredient in some food products and fertilizers. Ammonia detectors are designed to detect anhydrous ammonia (NH₃) which is a form of ammonia in either pure gas or compressed liquid with no water. Anhydrous ammonia is found in cleaning fluids, explosives, and fertilizers, as well as in certain pharmaceuticals. Across several professions, ammonia presents a possible risk which is why ammonia gas detectors or NH₃ gas detectors are so important.
