We at 7Solutions in Gas Detection are always trying to expand our knowledge. This time, we collected some fun facts on Gas Detection you might not know yet.
Last time we wrote about the gates of hell in Hierapolis, Turkey. This time we are telling you the story about a totally different phenomenon which can still be visited today: the crater of Derweze. Long story short: they were looking for natural gas and they found it (Methane).
It's well known that Hydrogen Peroxide can be used for hair bleaching, but there are a lot of other uses as well.
Often gases are odourless and colourless. Of course, we have a few exceptions like Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Ammonia (NH3). Ancient empires and their people tend to credit the phenomenon’s they can’t explain to their respective gods, like Zeus with his lighting. Since gases couldn’t be detected yet (and gas detection unfortunately wasn’t around) gas hazards were often credited to gods.
Where most people write a blog about what the user can do wrong with gas detection and how they should use it, I thought of a different approach. What can the company who’s selling it do differently to match the gas detection to needs of the user so that they use it the right way.
