Scott Safety launches Spyglass Open Path Combustible Gas Detector
Scott Safety, a global leader in innovative personal protective equipment and safety devices, recently announced the availability of the Spyglass Open Path Combustible Gas Detector, a pair of optical units, one an infrared light source, the other an IR detector, that are separated by a distance and work together to detect the presence of combustible gases in the atmosphere between the two units.
Designed for accuracy and reliability, the Scott Safety Spyglass system detects hydrocarbon gases by analyzing the absorption of radiation caused by gases in the atmosphere and comparing it to background atmospheric absorption. This is accomplished between a pair of units: a flash source and a detector that can monitor a distance of up to 200 meters.
