Confined space gas detector
06 July, 2009 | Supplied by: TechRentals
The BW Technologies Micro Clip personal gas detector is intended to warn personnel working in confined spaces of the presence of the most commonly encountered hazardous gases and combustibles. The Micro Clip is offered for rent with a calibration confirmation process being conducted before every new hire. This avoids the risk with a user’s own units being used when defective due to malfunction or the accumulation of working environment contaminants. It also avoids the expense and administration overhead of a user maintaining test gases with current certification.
