Gas Detector and Gas Sampling Devices for Field Operations

Gas analysis has been used in various fields such as industrial use, environmental measurement, forensic science. Analytical instruments, for instance, GC, HPLC have been used as precision methods. These methods are sensitive, specific, but their size and design are not suited for field operation and are costly. For these reasons, simplified gas detectors such as detector tubes and sensors have been used. In fieldwork, simple measurement methods may not be adopted due to the influence of coexisting gas. In such a case, the on-site operator needs to sample the gas and send the sample to the laboratory.

"Gas detector and gas sampling devices for field operations" explained procedure for gas detection and sampling methods with simplified detectors and samplers for on-site operators. The author provides practical information on how to gas detecting with commercially available products.
