MSA's newest video walks the user through the necessary steps for a successful alignment of the Senscient ELDS Open Path Gas Detector. The video highlights the following:

MSA has announced that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is now a detectable gas for the ULTIMA X5000 XIR PLUS. The ULTIMA XIR PLUS is the infrared point detector that is used with the breakthrough ULTIMA X5000 gas monitor.  Now workers will be able to monitor for CO2 using the latest technology available including touchscreen interface, OLED display, dual sensing technology, and Bluetooth communications.

For more than 100 years, the safety experts at MSA have been protecting people at work against the dangers of toxic and combustible gases, explosions and fires, trips and falls, loud noises, flying debris, dust, and more. If you’re responsible for plant and/or process safety in the oil and gas industry, MSA is there to help you prevent accidents. This blog introduces the basics of maintaining a safe work environment in the oil and gas industry. It is a quick-start tool, which is intended to point you in the right direction and not an all-inclusive safety manual. Our teams are ready to help you take the next steps with more detailed information when you’re ready to talk about your company’s needs.

About the Article:  MSA's recently published case study, Turn to Open-Path Laser Detectors for Hydrogen Fluoride Gas Safety, focuses on a refinery that had concerns about potential hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas releases.  

The ULTIMA X5000 Gas Monitor is the new revolution of gas detection for oxygen, toxic, and combustible gases! This is the only detector on the market that offers the widest range of communication options including Bluetooth® wireless technology that allows you to have real-time data in the palm of your hand. The patented XCell sensors, together with their proprietary TruCal® technology, enables the sensor to proactively self-check 4x per day and correct itself based on environmental factors.

It is not uncommon for a facility that uses conventional Open Path Gas Detection (OPGD) to experience excessive faults, false alarms, and late night calls from control room operators.  For a more advanced approach in gas detection, MSA is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Senscient’s patented Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy (ELDS) technology.
