Portable Gas Detection
Portable Gas Monitoring
Portable gas detection devices are essential tools for monitoring hazardous gas concentrations in process facilities in real time. At Cross Company’s Process Solutions group, we understand how important these safety devices are to your personnel and your processes. 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 Company provides advanced, portable multi-gas monitors designed to protect personnel in the most demanding industrial environments. Whether you are performing a routine leak check or entering a high-risk confined space, these rugged, IP-67 rated devices are engineered to withstand harsh conditions while providing rapid, reliable data to keep your team safe.
Intelligent Safety Features
Protection goes beyond gas readings. The portable gas detection devices we provide include integrated smart safety features to protect the individual user in emergency situations. This includes
Real-Time Alerts
Features both a Man-down alarm and a Panic alarm to instantly notify surrounding personnel of a crisis
Enhanced Visibility
An auto-rotating display and peak-bar graphs provide clear visibility of gas levels from any angle, supported by a dedicated LED light source
Intuitive Operation
A dedicated PPM Leak Check mode allows for precise pinpointing of hazardous leaks in the field
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.

Industrial Safety On the Move
If you’re regularly navigating varying industrial process environments, portable gas detection is particularly necessary. 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.
Portable gas monitors from Cross are built with a focus on flexibility, featuring interchangeable smart sensor slots that allow you to customize your detection profile based on the specific risks of your job site.
