The IMO Code for Construction & Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC), mandatory under the SOLAS conventions, requires all ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk to carry at least two portable gas detectors suitable to the hazards on board. Able to monitor up to four gases simultaneously, Triple Plus+ IR allows operators to meet this requirement and has type approval from both Lloyds Register and the American Bureau of Shipping.

Shock resistant and sealed to IP65, Triple Plus+ IR is housed in a shatterproof polyamide/ABS casing. It is unusual in being able to float, allowing the instrument to be recovered in full working order if dropped in standing water or overboard.

Users can specify one of three flammable gas sensing options.

An instrument covering 0-100% of the lower exposive limit is available for general safety monitoring, while a version measuring gas by volume from 0-100% is offered for high level applications like purge monitoring.

For optimum flexibility, both ranges can be specified in one unit.

Up to three additional sensors (or two for monitors with both the flammable ranges) can then be specified for other gases, including oxygen, hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide.
