GASTEC FOR KIDS

	Where are detector tubes in use?

In education

in the classroom, lab, and for school safety

At schools they are used as teaching aids, in lab experiments, or to monitor the quality of the air. Perhaps there are even some GASTEC gas detector tubes at your school.

In the home

gas leaks, burner trouble, building material fumes.

In many homes gas is used for cooking, heating, etc. and leaks or incomplete combustion (burning) of gas can pose a hazard. Then, there are some building materials from which toxic fumes (for example, formaldehyde) are slowly given off. Detector tubes can be very useful to detect them.

In heavy industry

including steelmaking, shipbuilding, automotive, pulp/paper production.

In production

of food, consumer electronics and other products.

At chemical and energy related facilities

for example: chemical industry, oil refineries, gas, and electric power utilities, etc.

Is there a big factory in (or near) your neighborhood? Perhaps, there is an iron foundry, a shipbuilding yard, an automobile plant, a paper mill or some other type of factory? Many production or energy generating processes require special gas and/or waste gas is given off which may be harmful. By controlling the amounts (i.e. concentrations) of such gases, better products can be produced with less harm to the environment or to people working and living nearby. Detector tubes come in very handy for the monitoring and measuring that is necessary.

At construction sites

for waterworks, sewerage, gas, and other facilities/buildings.

Sometimes there is hazardous gas at a construction site; for example, during excavation work there may be toxic fumes at the bottom of the hole. Detector tubes help to check this and warn us which helps to prevent accidents.

Research and development facilities

including research/experimental labs, etc.

In transportation

trains/subways, ferries, airplanes, buses, etc.

At medical facilities

h ospitals, clinics, infirmaries, etc.

In offices

work stations, conference rooms, reception/lobby areas, studios, etc.

During sports/leisure activities

swimming pools, athletic gyms, aerobics studios, etc.

In public areas and facilities

theatres (movie/stage), concert halls, department stores, hotels,

It is important to be sure that air quality is good wherever there are lots of people. To do this, we must first know if and how dirty the air gets there. So, careful inspection and measurement with precise means such as GASTEC detector tubes is important.
The examples we have listed on this page are only some of the many uses for our gas detector tubes that help so many people live safe and healthy lives.
