Do you manage the drying after the water damage on your own? Then the next question is if it is better to rent or buy the drying unit. Do you need it more often or just one time?

Carnival means party time and not only in Germany, the revellers parade through the streets and spread fun and cheerfulness. Like us, our Dutch neighbours also like to party and put themselves into fancy dresses.
But where many people and a great atmosphere are there can also always be scrimmages and accidents. Because of that, the Dutch Red Cross (Eerste Hulp Bij Ongelukken or short EHBO) has prepared for serious cases with tents from Trotec. Read More

Detect gas leaks quick and easy with the BG30 gas detector

The BG30 gas detector is another new and useful tool of the Trotec MultiMeasure Basic-Series. Quick detection of gas leaks is now possible with only one easy-to-use measuring device.

This gas warning meter can be used in the home as well as by a professional. Benefit from easy one-handed use and play it safe while checking your gas capsules or liquid gas bottles whether they are air-tight or not. An optical and acoustical alarm raises if the LEL (lower explosion level) has been reached. That means the BG30 gas detector warns you if the minimum gas concentration in the air has been reached in which an explosion can occur.

MultiMeasure Basic-Series BG30 gas detectorJust have a look at some technical data listed below:

  • Accuracy: 50 ppm
  • Standard calibration: methane
  • Swan neck probe: length approx. 40 cm
  • Alarm threshold / Alarm level max.: 10 % UEG / 40 % UEG
  • Surrounding conditions: 0 to +50 °C / 10 to 90 % RH (non-condensing)

Construction site exploration with audio frequency analysis

locating conductions One of our customers got the task to locate conductions in the soil on the area of a clinical centre before a building project. Restructuring of the entrance and the construction of a new building had been planned. For avoiding any troubles and interruptions during the construction the precise location of all conductions in the soil – electrical power, telecommunication, water, heating, gas, oxygen, coldness – had to be located and determined. For this purpose the company used the audio frequency analysis.

The origins and endpoints of the different conductions were known, but nobody knew how they proceeded in the ground. Under usage of an emitter all conductions had been transmitted actively with a frequency one by one and with the help of the audio frequency analysis all conductions in the study area had been located concerning their location, course and depth. The determined course of the conductions had been marked on the surface of the area, documented by an orthonogal measurement and finally assigned into a site plan.

Because of the audio frequency analysis the different conductions could be located on the construction site and the early resulting documentation of the actual state could ensure a high planning security.
