MSA Safety
The Senscient ELDS Open-Path Gas Detector (photo), approved by FM 6325, is an open-path methane gas detector that uses patented Harmonic Fingerprint technology to ensure that it will only respond to the presence of methane. It is designed to eliminate false alarms and shutdowns. The Class 1, Div. 1, Zone 1 device is suitable for use inoil-and-gas facilities, petroleum refineries, chemical plants, liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, tank farms, electric power-generation facilities and more. This laser-based, Class 1, eye-safe device is said to be less prone to the effects of fog interference, and this helps to provide increased uptime availability. This methane detector is available in three path lengths: 16–131 ft, 131–394 ft and 394–656 ft, with a fast response time of 3 seconds or less. — MSA Safety, Cranberry, Pa.
