Couldn't load pickup availability
The CH4 Methane Online Gas Detector, sets the stand in Ex rated explosion-proof gas detection. Engineered to endure and perform in the harsh challenges of the industrial environments with moisture, dirt, dust, corrosion, and vibration.
Harnessing equipment protection levels of Intrinsic Safety "ia", Flameproof "db". Suited for the most challenging hazardous atmospheric conditions found in industries such as oil and gas, marine, petrochemical, chemical, petroleum, manufacturing etc. Covered by the IECEx and ATEX certification, brings a compliant solution to hazardous areas.
Adopting pluggable fixed gas detector, gives easy maintenance after installation and continuous monitoring of combustible, flammable and toxic gases, model dependant. Configured via 3-wire 4-20 mA analogue output with relays, and optional HART, RS485 Modbus protocol, making it compatible with most control systems. Additional magnetic wand design, it’s easier to navigate the control menu.
Ideal for Energy & Power Generation, Industrial Fuel, Transportation (CNG & LNG), Renewable Energy. Metal Processing applications, designed to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of ethanol vapours in the air. Methane is highly flammable, and early detection of leaks is critical to preventing fire hazards and ensuring a safe working environment.

Applications
-
Energy & Power Generation
Methane gas is used as the primary component of natural gas for electricity and heat production.
-
Industrial Fuel
Methane is used to power furnaces, kilns, and boilers in manufacturing and processing industries.
-
Chemical Industry
Methane gas is a key feedstock for producing hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia (used in fertilizers).
Methane (CH₄) is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas commonly found in natural gas, landfills, and industrial processes. While it is not toxic, it can displace oxygen and pose asphyxiation risks in enclosed spaces.
- OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit): No specific OSHA PEL for methane, but oxygen displacement must be controlled (maintain oxygen above 19.5%).
- NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) REL (Recommended Exposure Limit): 1000 ppm (TWA, as an indicator of potential oxygen displacement).
- ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) TLV (Threshold Limit Value): No direct TLV, but methane exposure should not cause oxygen levels to drop below 19.5% in confined spaces.
- Short-Term Exposure Effects: Dizziness, nausea, and unconsciousness due to oxygen displacement. At extremely high concentrations, asphyxiation can occur without warning.

Contact form
Methane is highly flammable and can create explosive mixtures with air, making proper monitoring essential.
- Flash Point: −188°C (−306°F) – Extremely low, meaning methane can ignite easily at very low temperatures.
- Autoignition Temperature: 537°C (999°F) – The temperature at which methane ignites without an external flame.
- Flammable Limits (Lower & Upper Explosive Limits in Air):
- Vapor Density: ~0.55 (Air = 1) – Lighter than air, methane rises and disperses quickly in open areas.
