To keep an eye on flammable gases, oxygen levels, and a range of harmful gases such as H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide), CO (Carbon Monoxide), and LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), UAE vendors keep a wide choice of portable gas detectors and fixed gas detection systems in store. These safety gadgets are crucial for both human safety while entering restricted spaces and for monitoring areas in high-risk industries like construction, utility projects, industrial facilities, and oil and gas. For accurate gas leak detection, common sensor technologies include catalytic bead sensors, infrared (IR) sensors, and electrochemical sensors. Devices that are certified to ATEX and IECEx standards for usage in hazardous regions frequently have data logging, visual and auditory alerts, and robust, intrinsically safe designs.
To guarantee that equipment is always prepared for maintenance, services include gas detector calibration, bump testing, sensor replacement, repair, and leasing. Delivery services are provided by suppliers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other UAE employees.
Typical UAE Price Range (AED):
• Single-Gas Detector (H2S or CO) 400 – 1,200/pc
• Multi-Gas Detector (4-Gas) 1,500 – 4,500/pc
• Portable VOC Detector 2,000 – 6,000/pc
• Fixed Gas Detection System 3,000 – 15,000+/system
• Gas Detector Calibration Service 100 – 300/device.
Note: Sensor type, brand, certification (e.g., intrinsically safe), number of gases monitored, and other features like data logging all affect price.

A gas detector is a safety tool used to detect and alert users to the existence of dangerous gases in the atmosphere, averting possible gas leaks, explosions, or health problems brought by exposure to toxic gases.
Portable gas detectors should be bump tested before every usage and have a complete calibration at least every six months, or as advised by the manufacturer, for the best personal safety.
Before and during worker entry, the environment in confined space entry points is tested for safe levels of oxygen, flammables, and dangerous gases using a confined space gas detector, which is a small, portable gas detector that is frequently a multi-gas detector.
For known risks, a single-gas detector is economical because it is made to monitor just one gas. A multi-gas detector provides broader protection for complex settings such as the oil and gas industry by monitoring three to five gases (e.g., O₂, LEL, H₂S, and CO) at the same time.
When gas detection equipment is certified as intrinsically safe, it means that it is made to function in dangerous environments without generating enough thermal or electrical energy to ignite a particular hazardous atmospheric mixture.
