Detector Electronics Corporation (Det-Tronics), has announced that its Nanotechnology Metal Oxide Semiconductor hydrogen sulfide gas (NTMOS H2S) detector has earned approval for use in locations that require an ingress protection rating of IP66/67, ideal for petrochemical, oil and gas applications (http://ntmos.det-tronics.com). Det-Tronics is part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
This rating was achieved as a result of the detector’s robust mechanical design and indicates that the gas detector is protected against dust and forceful water during operation.
