TXgard-IS+ Gas Detector Gains UL Certification
Crowcon has announced that its intrinsically safe TXgard-IS+ gas detector is now UL certified. The detector is fitted with electrochemical sensors that can detect a range of toxic gases and oxygen. Gases detected include those commonly found in industrial applications, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and oxygen. Already certified to ATEX and IECEx standards, the addition of UL certification means that the TXgard-IS+ can now be used globally, including in North America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, in Zone 0, 1 or 2 or Division 1 or 2 hazardous areas when used with a safety barrier (zener barrier or galvanic isolator). Typical environments where the TXgard-IS+ can be used include plastic, rubber, chemical and semiconductor manufacturing plants, water and sewage treatment plants, steel manufacturing facilities, oil-and-gas drilling and processing facilities, car parks and tunnels. The TXgard-IS+, which is said t...
