Hydrogen Bromide (HBr) Detection
Portable & fixed-point HBr detectors for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental testing.
About Hydrogen Bromide Detection
Hydrogen Bromide, a colorless or faint yellow gas with an acrid odor, is widely used in the synthesis of bromine compounds and as a catalyst in pharmaceutical and fine chemical production.
It is also employed in flame retardants and for plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing. Given its corrosive nature and potential to form hydrobromic acid, HBr requires comprehensive safety measures to prevent inhalation and contact injuries.

Fixed or Portable Gas Detectors: What Does Your Facility Need?
Fixed and portable gas detectors have different functions in industries. Fixed gas analyzers protect the facility and personnel by detecting accidental leaks and monitoring gas levels daily for compliance and process optimization. Portable gas analyzers protect individuals from exposure to hazardous gases in high-risk areas and jobs. The two systems’ use is not mutually exclusive.
How to Place Gas Detectors for Optimal Safety and Accuracy
Fixed sensors’ accuracy and reliability depend on optimal placement. Several characteristics of gases, such as point of origin, facility process, and equipment, must be considered to determine the location and placement of sensors. Industrial hygienists and safety managers should consult experts on gases, facility processes, and engineering to jointly determine the placement of fixed sensors.
Ensuring Accuracy in Gas Detection: The Importance of Wet Chem Calibration
Watch the video to see our wet chem calibration setup in action. At Interscan, we are committed to delivering precise and reliable gas detection solutions. One unique offering is the ability to calibrate gases that require wet chemistry. This article will explore wet chem calibration, why it is necessary, the process involved, and how we ensure our clients receive consistently accurate sensors.
What is Wet Chem Calibration?
Is Fixed Gas Detection Necessary?
Yes, fixed gas detectors are necessary to provide continuous air monitoring for hazardous gases in stable and risky areas in workspaces without human intervention. Fixed gas detectors can be connected to alarm systems and building management software to provide crucial safety chain reactions, even without human intervention. Fixed gas detectors keep personnel safe and healthy, protect the facility, and help in regulatory compliance.
Gas Detection Applications Primer
Commonly Used Terms for Gas Detection Applications PPM: Part(s) Per Million A unit of concentration, pertaining to a gas mixture, defined as the ratio between the volume of an individual component V i and the total volume V total
10,000 parts per million equals one percent.
LEL: Lower Explosive Limit The lowest concentration of a gas in air, which, when ignited, will sustain combustion.
