XGARD IQ
Crowcon XgardIQ is an intelligent, SIL2-certified fixed gas detector and transmitter designed to minimise the time operators spend in hazardous areas.
It can be fitted with a range of sensors for flammable gas, toxic gas, oxygen or H2S, and is widely used in oil, gas, chemical and petrochemical plants.
Typical uses: hazardous areas where diagnostics and reduced maintenance visits matter.
Alarm set points should follow your risk assessment, site standard and the detector's capability, using the UK workplace exposure limits in HSE EH40 as a reference; flammable gas alarms are typically set at 10% and 20% LEL. We can help you choose sensors and set points for your site.
We supply fixed detection to your specification or your consultant's design, and our engineers service and calibrate installed systems on site, typically every six or twelve months. Call 01489 326031 for advice or a quote.
