Gas Detection

Gas detection is a vital safety solution when working in potentially hazardous environments with a risk of toxic gases in the atmosphere. Here at Rockall, we have a generous variety of different devices available, which can be used to detect explosive atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, and toxic gases in the immediate working space.

Take a look at our gas detection safety news and advice for all the information you need regarding what applications gas detectors are needed for.

Specialising in a wide range of resources that are designed to minimise health and safety risks other than gas detectors, we also provide breathing equipment, fall arrest systems and confined space rescue tools that you can rely on through your day to day operations.

If you have any questions relating to our products or services, don’t hesitate to contact our dedicated sale staff on 0845 3300 447 or email our team at [email protected].

PID Detection in the Petrochemical Industry

Posted by Rhys Redrup

PID (or “photoionization detector”. ) detection uses ultraviolet light to ionize VOC molecules in order to measure a resulting electric current. This simple method allows PIDs to detect VOCs at ultra-low levels, from parts per billion (ppb) to parts per million (ppm). Most industry insiders know that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evaporate rapidly when emitted...

Hydrogen Gas Detection: Best fixed-gas detection

Posted by Rhys Redrup

Hydrogen is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is highly flammable and explosive. It is essential to have effective gas detection systems in place to protect people and property from the hazards of hydrogen leaks. This may seem an obvious statement, but our engineers have come across examples where the working layout of an...

Dangers of CO (Carbon Monoxide) Poisoning

Posted by Rhys Redrup

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. It is a common industrial hazard resulting from the incomplete burning of material containing carbon such as natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, coal, or wood. CO can be produced by forges, blast furnaces and coke ovens, but the internal combustion engine is one...
