Combustible Gas Detector
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11590
The Digital Combustible Gas Detector is a high-sensitivity safety instrument designed to identify and quantify the presence of flammable vapors, such as Methane, Propane, and Butane. Primarily utilized in secondary chemistry laboratories and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) facilities, it ensures student safety during gas-law experiments and combustion analysis. It provides critical real-time monitoring to prevent Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) breaches.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Flexible stainless steel goose-neck probe.
Benefit: Allows students to isolate and inspect specific valves, joints, and Bunsen burner connections for micro-leaks, solving the problem of undetectable gas seepage in aging laboratory infrastructure.
Feature: Variable frequency audible alarm.
Benefit: Provides a clear, escalating signal as gas concentration increases, allowing for "hot-spot" mapping without the student needing to maintain constant eye contact with the display.
Feature: High-precision catalytic sensor.
Benefit: Delivers linear and reliable detection of various hydrocarbons, ensuring that quantitative measurements of gas density are accurate for physics and thermodynamics experiments.
Feature: Visual bar graph and digital readout.
Benefit: Enables immediate interpretation of the hazard level, reducing the "response lag" during emergency situations and training students in professional safety protocols.
Feature: Manual sensitivity adjustment.
Benefit: Allows the user to filter out background ambient gas levels in high-activity labs, focusing exclusively on identifying a specific source of a leak or emission.
