Portable Gas Detection

Cross Company Portable Gas Detection

Within many process facilities and applications, portable gas detection devices are essential tools for monitoring hazardous gas concentrations in real time. At Cross Company, we recognize the significance of safety. That’s why we collaborate with industry-leading manufacturers to offer a comprehensive range of portable gas detection systems that empower workers with the tools they need to stay safe.

Cross is proud to be a platinum channel partner for Dräger. Dräger offers a wide range of single and multi-gas instruments for all applications and environments.

Empowering Safety On the Move

Portable gas detection devices are designed for both adaptability and versatility. Unlike their fixed gas detection counterparts that operate while stationed in specific areas, portable gas detectors provide a mobile solution for monitoring gas concentrations in varying levels in a facility or for a specific application.

Portable gas detection equipment is especially necessary for workers who navigate varying environments. This can apply to confined spaces as well as outdoor sites or anywhere where gas leaks or elevated gas levels may occur unpredictably.

These gas detection units are able to provide real-time readings, allowing workers, operators, or personnel to make informed decisions and take immediate action if gas levels rise or a gas hazard presents itself. At Cross, we care about industrial safety. That’s why we ensure that we provide an array of portable gas detection systems that reflect cutting-edge technology, accuracy, and reliability.

Benefits of Portable Gas Detection

There are many benefits to utilizing portable gas detection equipment in your process facility or other application. Some of those benefits include greater flexibility, worker protection, and compliance and documentation.

Greater Flexibility

Portable gas detection devices provide the freedom to move. Workers are able to carry these lightweight devices as the navigate areas, ensuring continuous monitoring of potential hazards

Worker Protection

Real-time data allows informed decision-making, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous gases. This protects your workers and other personnel, creating a safer working environment

Compliance and Documentation

Portable gas detectors aid in compliance by providing documented evidence of gas exposure levels. This can be essential in industries subject to strict regulations for gas monitoring

Portable Gas Detector Applications

Every different application requires a slightly different portable gas detection system, precisely tailored to the measurement task. The instruments must be able to reliably detect a wide range of hazardous substances under changing work conditions. In general, there are four different portable gas detector applications

Personal Monitoring – Worn directly on the clothes, the instrument warns the wearer of gas-related risks in their immediate work area. Continuous detection devices for single or multiple gases are suitable for personal monitoring.

Area Monitoring – Safeguarding an area where workers are active requires a device that is centrally positioned so it can monitor the entire work area. Continuous measurement devices for multiple gases are preferred.

Confined Space Monitoring – Before entering, a measurement needs to be taken to detect the presence of hazardous substances. Multiple gas detectors with corresponding pumps and accessories are usually used.

Leak Detection – Wherever gases and liquids are stored or transported runs the risk of a leak. Devices used here must have a rapid response time to detect even the slightest changes in concentration.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
