The FAQ document from GAO Tek addresses common queries regarding their hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas detectors, categorized by features like benchtop, calibrated, handheld, etc. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring HCN due to its extreme toxicity, commonly used in industries like chemical manufacturing, mining, and metallurgy.
HCN exposure can lead to severe health risks, including respiratory and cardiac failure, necessitating the need for monitoring in various industrial settings. GAO Tek’s detectors typically employ sensors such as electrochemical cells or infrared sensors to detect changes in HCN concentrations.
Industries requiring monitoring include chemical manufacturing, metal treatment, and areas with potential combustion risks. The detectors comply with occupational exposure limits and safety standards, with calibration frequency depending on specific recommendations to ensure accuracy.
Detectors have a detection range covering low parts per million (ppm) to potentially harmful concentrations and are suitable for outdoor and confined space use. They provide prompt indications of changes in HCN concentrations, though performance may be influenced by environmental factors like humidity and temperature.
The detectors can be configured to minimize cross-sensitivity to other gases, undergo regular maintenance, and be integrated with other safety systems for enhanced safety measures. They find applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, laboratories, mining, and environmental monitoring.
Regulatory compliance includes adherence to standards such as OSHA, NFPA, IEC, ISO, and ATEX directives in the U.S., Canada, and internationally. The detectors are available under different names and categories, catering to specific industry needs.
Finally, GAO Tek offers overnight shipping to U.S. and Canadian locations from their North American facilities. The comprehensive FAQ provides valuable insights for customers and partners seeking information about HCN gas detectors and underscores GAO Tek’s commitment to safety and customer support.
