Single Gas Detectors
Single Gas Detectors are small portable instruments that warn a worker about one specific gas (H2S, CO, O2, LEL, or another) in a compact, lightweight, clip-on design. They differ from multi-gas detectors by their simplicity, lower cost, and long battery life. They suit workers exposed to one known gas hazard in a defined work environment.

About this category
Single gas detectors are the first line of defense at sites where the gas hazard is known in advance. The design: a compact clip-on device with a specialized electrochemical, catalytic, or IR sensor for one gas, a small LCD showing live concentration, a clip, a sealed lithium battery that runs for an extended period before replacement, an audible alarm, a vibration alarm, and a bright red LED. Common gases covered by this category: H2S (hydrogen sulfide, toxic, in oil and sewage), CO (carbon monoxide, in fires and engines), O2 (oxygen, varying in confined spaces), LEL (combustibles), SO2, NH3, and Cl2 (in chemical industries). Alarm thresholds are programmable per gas and site requirements. Applications: oil and gas workers, sewer technicians, tank-inspection crews, welders (with a multi-gas detector for confined-space entry), and heating-service technicians. A substantive difference from multi-gas detectors: single-gas is cheaper, lighter, and has longer battery life, but limited to one gas; multi-gas protects against several hazards at once but costs more and needs more maintenance. Acceptance documentation and hazardous-area listings vary between models and manufacturers — review the product documentation and site requirements when purchasing.
