Providing Cost Effective And Reliable Gas Detection Solutions Since 1975
WHO IS INTERSCAN? We manufacture and sell toxic gas analyzers/monitors/detectors and related data-logging products exclusively We manufacture our own patented electrochemical voltametric sensors for 18 gases
Interscan manufactures sensors for these gases: • bromine • carbon monoxide • chlorine • chlorine dioxide • ethylene • ethylene oxide • formaldehyde • hydrazine(s) • hydrogen • hydrogen bromide • hydrogen chloride • hydrogen cyanide • hydrogen sulfide • nitric oxide • nitrogen dioxide • ozone • propylene oxide • sulfur dioxide
WHAT ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS? We manufacture toxic gas detectors, primarily used for compliance monitoring in the workplace Interscan does not manufacture confined space entry monitors (typified by hand-held “4-gas” monitors---- generally measuring CO and H2S as well as % LEL and O2 deficiency) Interscan does not manufacture outdoor environmental (EPA equivalence or reference) monitors Although Interscan is certainly aware of other detection methods, since we manufacture electrochemical voltametric sensors, this is our core competency and primary detection method We can provide other detection methods via systems integration and custom design
WHY CHOOSE INTERSCAN? Being both the manufacturer of the sensor and the instrument affords Interscan optimum applications flexibility We are a privately held company, providing reliable and affordable toxic gas detection solutions for more than 30 years We know how to solve your gas detection problem!
BASIC TERMS TLV: Threshold Limit Value TWA: Time-weighted average exposure concentration for a conventional 8 hour workday and a 40 hour work-week STEL: Short-Term Exposure Limit. Usually a 15 minute TWA exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday Action Level: This is for benchmark purposes for the initial screening of a workplace. This level is one-half of the allowable 8 hour TWA for a particular substance. Should levels equal or exceed this amount, then regular monitoring must be employed ppm (Part Per Million) 1 ppm= 1,000 ppb. 1%= 10,000 ppm ppb (Part Per Billion) 1 ppb = 0.001 ppm
Early 1900s combustible gas was being detected in mines MSA started in 1914 GAS DETECTION: A SIMPLIFIED HISTORY %LEL Detection (Methane LEL = 5.0%) O2 Deficiency I.H. Section of the American Public Health Assoc. started in 1914
40 Years or so after - I.H. section blossomed into the two associations we know today A.C.G.I.H A.I.H.A. Until this point, gas detection consisted of % level measurements Monitoring for combustibles does not require specificity Monitoring for combustibles does not require sensitivity Pioneers of toxic gas detection: Riken MSA Gastech Dräger Early 1970s 1973 Energetics Science (Ecolyzer) 1975 Interscan Corporation
