Gas warning device and gas detector in one device

Gas detector BG40 – highly sensitive and highly responsive

Owing to its high sensitivity, the gas indicator BG40 registers even the smallest of gas leaks in less than two seconds – with a sensitivity level of <10 ppm it alerts you even to minor gas concentrations via a visual and acoustic alarm signal topped off with a vibration alert. With increasing frequency the acoustic alarm signal indicates a growing intensity of the escaping gas. The BG40 reliably detects combustible gases such as natural gas, methane, ethane, propane, butane, hexane, ethylene, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, toluene, p-xylene, acetone, alcohol, benzene, ammonia, steam, carbon monoxide, petrol and hydrogen sulphide.

Those who store and use combustible gases, such as natural gas, methane, ethane and propane, for private purposes always have to pay particular attention when performing tightness tests. This is why Trotec now offers the both practical and compact hand-held measuring device BG40, allowing you to easily and regularly inspect gas cartridges and LPG containers at your home or on your boat as well as gas pipelines and fittings for leakage.

Gooseneck probe and other convenient features

The flexible 40 cm gooseneck probe enables detection of leaky spots even in poorly accessible and confined spaces. The device displays the lower explosive limit (often abbreviated as LEL), which defines the minimum gas concentration in the air at which an explosion is possible. Moreover, the gas detector comes equipped with a backlit LCD display on which the measured ppm values can be read at any time quickly and easily even in unfavourable lighting conditions.
