Intelligent Combustible Gas Detectors SIL 3 Suitable For Hazardous Processes

Ideal for Oil/Gas Industrial production, Storage, Pipeline, or Distribution and PetroChemical Refining Applications

With their highly intelligent microprocessor-based designs, the advanced S4000C and S4100C Combustible Industrial gas detectors from General Professional monitors are now suitable for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 applications commonly found in a wide range of demanding industries where the potential presence of dangerous hydrocarbon-based combustible gas is a threat to people, equipment and facilities.

The global importance of the SIL standard has grown substantially in the oil/gas, petrochemical and other process industries over the last 10 years in response to the development of protection equipment designed with next-generation electronics. SIL is a measure of process safety system performance, in terms of probability of failure on demand (PFD).

There are four discrete integrity levels associated with SIL: SIL 1, SIL 2, SIL 3, and SIL 4. The higher the SIL level, the higher the associated safety level, and the lower probability that a system will fail to perform properly.

S4000C Combustible Gas Detector
The S4000C Detector is a hydrocarbon gas detector that is suitable for SIL Level 3 applications and is FM, CSA, ATEX, CE Marking and GOST approved.

S4100C Combustible Gas Detector
Designed for the European community, the S4100C Detector is a hydrocarbon gas detector that is suitable for SIL Level 3 applications and is ATEX, CE Marking, GOST and Kazakhstan approved. It features a three digit display and an explosion-proof housing, which allows all data to be processed locally at the sensor site.
