Compur Monitors – one of the leading manufacturers of gas detectors
Wherever gas is handled, the safety is the first priority, no matter where you work, in the surrounding of pipes, tanks or in processing plants. To ensure safety, continuous gas measurement is required, either with stationary or portable measuring devices. These must comply with or even exceed all current standards.
Compur began developing and manufacturing gas detection devices back in the late 1970s and has been focussing entirely on gas detection technology since 1984 under the name Compur Monitors. Many years of experience and intensive research work have repeatedly led to innovative, if not revolutionary, results. Customers and their requirements are in the focus of our development and manufacturing process.
We can say that we have made history in the field of gas measurements and will continue to do so. With the Statox 560 for example, we recently launched a device with an integrated gas generator that not only complies with the usual safety requirements, but in addition to that regularly uses gas to check the functionality of the sensor and all other components. This makes the Statox 560 the safest instrument of its kind.
Sense and purpose of gas measurement
Toxic and flammable gases can be a threat to human life and health as well as to the assets in industrial plants and other gas-processing facilities. Therefore, measurements are always required in order to quickly know about any imminent danger and take measures to prevent potential damage. Compur Monitors offers portable and stationary gas detectors for almost any application.
What capability must a gas analyser have
There are many different requirements to gas detectors. The products from gas detector manufacturer Compur Monitors impress with their reliable measurement of gas concentrations using intelligent, high-performance sensors. Absolute precision and rugged construction is necessary to detect even the smallest quantities of harmful gases in ambient air. The devices should also be able to detect as many different hazardous substances as possible. Not only methane, hydrogen sulphide or carbon monoxide and similar substances are dangerous. Oxygen, which is essential for life, can also have serious consequences if the concentration is too low or too high. Below 18%, there is a health risk due to oxygen deficiency. If the content rises to more than 24% by volume, oil-soaked cloths, can ignite spontaneously and cause a fire, which is then accelerated by the high oxygen content in the air.

The market
The safety of employees in the workplace is in the sole responsibility of the plant operator. However, the use of gas detectors is not regulated by law. The Technical Guidelines for Hazardous Substances have been issued for their use. These provide valuable recommendations from the employers’ liability insurance associations. These guidelines also contain the applicable limit values.
