Forensics Detectors offers sensitive Hydrogen Chloride HCl Gas Detectors. Used for personal protection in toxic gas situations. HCl is used in cleaning, pickling, electroplating, tanning leather, refining, and many chemical processes. In addition, HCl is used to treat oil and gas wells.
The professional hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas detector by FORENSICS is the best in its class with many advanced features. Hydrogen chloride is a colorless or slightly yellow corrosive gas with a pungent odor. Although HCl is not considered a combustible gas, it may form combustible compounds in contact with alcohol and hydrogen cyanide or aluminum-titanium alloys. Dissolving hydrogen chloride in water will yield a corrosive acid. OSHA TWA is 5 ppm and IDLH is 50 ppm. Comes factory-calibrated. Advanced features such as temperature, alarm setting, backlight high-resolution LCD, calibration features, and others are included. Included: Gas detector, belt clip, sling, English manual, USB charging cable, calibration cover, and USA NIST calibration certificate.
Have the highest confidence in your gas detection accuracy. Possible only with best calibration practices to USA NIST Traceable Sources. Calibration qualified in the Forensics Detectors laboratory, located in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Hydrogen chloride has the chemical symbol HCl. This gas is colorless or slightly yellow with a pungent smell. HCl is a very useful but dangerous gas. Due to its useful uses, it is employed in various situations, yet requires monitoring to protect humans from inhalation.
