Hazardous Areas (IEC Ex Certified)

IEC Ex approved gas detectors and sensors for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas within Australia for both Toxic and Flammable gases.

Hazardous Areas are areas in which an explosive gas atmosphere is or may be expected to be present, in quantities such as to require special precautions for the construction installation and use of equipment construction, installation and use of equipment. Hazardous areas are classified into 3 zones based upon the frequency of the occurrence and duration of an explosive gas atmosphere, as follows:

• Zone 0 - Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods or frequently.
• Zone 1 - Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.
• Zone 2 - Area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist will persist for a short period for a short period only.
• Non hazardous area (safe area) - A non hazardous area is an area in which an explosive atmosphere is not expected to be present.

As per IEC60079-10-1 and AS/NZS 60079.29.2:2016

Generator Rooms

A range of devices from single point go / no go detectors such as the DA-2010 through to sophisticated IEC Ex type gas detectors / gas sensors can be used for detection of Natural gas, Propane, Butane and various other mixtures.

Sewage Treatment Plant Monitoring

The presence of Hydrogen Sulphide can be detected by using the Gas Detection Australia GDA 2529 gas sensor to detect leaks of Hydrogen Sulphide and evoke deodorisation plant. The SI-100C gas sensor can be used to monitor for leaks of LEL levels of methane gas. In digester applications Carbon dioxide can be detected using the GDA 4350

Laboratory and Classroom Monitoring

When gas is piped into rooms for experimental purposes such as CO2, CO, or Natural Gas .The Gas Detection Australia range of sensors can be used to detect any leaks that may present a danger to health or explosion.

Designed, Manufactured and Supported in Australia.
