Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon Monoxide Detector for Commercial & Industrial Applications

Carbon Monoxide, also written as CO, has a few similar properties as methane because it is also colorless and odorless. Carbon monoxide is even tasteless, so a CO detection system is the best possible safeguard. CO is slightly lighter than air and has an LEL of 12%.

Many industrial facilities have stringent requirements when it comes to detecting carbon monoxide . Pemtech’s line of commercial and industrial carbon monoxide sensors are ideal for the oil and gas industry because we specialize in a full line gas detection products specifically for commercial use. Our carbon monoxide detectors have been used in manufacturing plants, warehouses and other commercial & industrial facilities to safeguard.

CO Gas Detector Models

PEL – A Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) is the maximum amount or concentration of a chemical that a worker may be exposed to under OSHA regulations.

STEL – A Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is the acceptable average exposure over a short period of time, usually 15 minutes as long as the time-weighted average is not exceeded. STEL is a term used in occupational health, industrial hygiene and toxicology.

TWA – Time Weighted Averages are an average value of exposure over the course of an 8 hour work shift.
