By hazard count
Three ranges — pick by how many hazards the wearer must see
The first cut on a gas detector isn’t the brand on the case — it’s how many atmospheric hazards one person has to watch at once. That’s how this category splits, and where each sub-range goes deeper.
Single-gas detectors
One named gas on a clip-on unit, issued and replaced at end of life (2- or 3-year). The economical choice when the risk is a single known hazard: H₂S at a sour-gas site, CO near combustion, O₂ in a tank. The disposable SENKO SP-SGT and Honeywell BW Clip live here.
Multi-gas (4-gas) detectors
One instrument reading H₂S, CO, O₂ and LEL together — the standard for confined-space entry and general plant work. Diffusion for wear-and-monitor; pumped for pre-entry sampling before anyone goes in.
H₂S gas detectors
Personal hydrogen sulphide monitoring, the single most common toxic risk on UAE oil & gas sites — including units written to the ADNOC HSE-OS-ST20 §9.8 personal H₂S spec.
Prefer to choose by maker instead of by hazard? See the Brands we supply section below — Honeywell BW and SENKO, plus MSA and Dräger to order.
How to specify
Single-gas or 4-gas? A 20-second decision
If the job is…
| Reach for
| Why |
|---|---|---|
| One known toxic or O₂ risk, issued per worker | Single-gas | Lower cost, zero maintenance, 2–3 yr life then replace |
| H₂S, CO, O₂ and LEL all matter (confined space, plant) | 4-gas (diffusion) | One unit covers the four confined-space gases |
| Testing a space before anyone enters | 4-gas (pumped) | A pump draws a sample through a hose — a chest-worn diffusion unit can't do pre-entry sampling |
| Personal H₂S on a sour-gas / ADNOC site | H₂S single-gas | Purpose-built, with a certified personal option |
| Kitchen/LPG alarm, refrigerant sniffer, flue analyser, fixed XNX transmitter | Not this range | Different product class — ask and we'll point you right |
A 4-gas instrument is the right answer when those four gases all matter — not automatically the answer for one known H₂S or CO risk, which is a single-gas unit at a fraction of the cost.
Where gas detectors are used
Portable gas detection isn’t one job — it’s wherever the air can turn toxic, flammable, or short of oxygen without warning. The setting usually decides both the gas and the type of unit:
- Confined-space entry (tanks, vessels, silos, pits, manholes) — O₂, H₂S, CO and LEL; a 4-gas unit, pumped for pre-entry testing.
- Oil & gas — onshore, offshore and sour-gas wells — H₂S first, plus LEL and O₂; an H₂S single-gas alongside a 4-gas, and the SENKO §9.8 unit on ADNOC sites.
- Refineries & petrochemical (Ruwais, KEZAD) — H₂S, SO₂, LEL and CO; 4-gas plus specialty single-gas.
- Sewers, wastewater & drainage — H₂S, methane (LEL) and O₂ depletion; 4-gas.
- Construction & civil — excavations, tunnels, deep trenches — O₂, LEL, CO and NO₂; 4-gas.
- Marine & shipping — holds, engine rooms, ballast tanks — O₂, H₂S, LEL and CO; 4-gas.
- Chemical manufacture & storage — Cl₂, NH₃, SO₂ and LEL; specialty single-gas plus 4-gas.
- Cold storage, food & beverage, breweries — CO₂, NH₃ refrigerant and O₂; CO₂ / NH₃ single-gas.
- Welding & hot work — CO, O₂ depletion and shielding-gas buildup; single-gas or 4-gas.
- Utilities, power & battery rooms — CO, LEL and H₂; single-gas or 4-gas.
- Firefighting & emergency response — CO, HCN, O₂ and LEL; 4-gas.
The gas you need to see decides the unit more than the industry name does — so if your setting isn’t listed above, the hazard still points to the right detector.
Sensor reference
Which gases these detectors detect
A gas detector only monitors the gas its sensor is built for — so the gas you need to see decides the unit. Here’s the full range our detectors cover, what each gas does, and where it turns up:
Gas
| Symbol | The hazard
| Typically found around
| On which range
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen sulphide | H₂S | Toxic — fatal at high ppm, deadens smell fast | Sour gas, oil & gas, sewers, tanks | Single-gas · H₂S · every 4-gas |
| Carbon monoxide | CO | Toxic — odourless, from incomplete combustion | Engines, boilers, welding, fires | Single-gas · 4-gas |
| Oxygen | O₂ | Depletion (suffocation) and enrichment (fire risk) | Confined spaces, inerted vessels | Single-gas · 4-gas |
| Combustible / flammable gases | LEL | Explosion — methane, propane, solvents, vapours | Pipelines, refineries, fuel stores | 4-gas (catalytic-bead or IR) |
| Carbon dioxide | CO₂ | Asphyxiant at high concentration | Cold storage, breweries, cellars | BW Flex · select single-gas |
| Sulphur dioxide | SO₂ | Toxic, irritant | Refineries, smelting, combustion | SENKO single-gas · BW Flex |
| Ammonia | NH₃ | Toxic, corrosive | Refrigeration plant, fertiliser, food | SENKO single-gas · BW Flex |
| Nitrogen dioxide / nitric oxide | NO₂ / NO | Toxic exhaust / process gas | Diesel plant, tunnels, mining | SENKO single-gas · BW Flex |
| Chlorine | Cl₂ | Toxic, corrosive | Water treatment, pools, chemical plant | SENKO single-gas · BW Flex |
| Hydrogen | H₂ | Flammable / explosive | Battery rooms, electrolysis | SENKO single-gas · BW Flex |
| Hydrogen cyanide | HCN | Highly toxic | Plating, fumigation, fire overhaul | BW Flex |
H₂S, CO, O₂ and LEL are the four "confined-space" gases — the standard 4-gas set. The rest are specialty sensors, fitted per application. A few sensor pairings aren't possible in one unit because of cross-sensitivity.

Certification
Certified for hazardous areas
Every detector on this page is built for potentially explosive atmospheres and carries recognised hazardous-area certification — so it’s approved to be switched on where flammable gas may be present:
- ATEX — EU Directive 2014/34/EU (e.g. II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga).
- IECEx — the international IEC scheme (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga).
- CSA / UL-913 — North American intrinsic safety (Class I, Div 1, Groups A–D).
- Ingress protection — IP66 / IP67 / IP68 by model.
- ADNOC HSE-OS-ST20 §9.8 — the ADNOC personal H₂S detector spec, met by the SENKO SP-SGT.
The exact certificate for the model and configuration you order — including the SENKO SP-SGT’s ATEX EU-Type Examination Certificate and IECEx/CSA documentation — ships with the unit for your HSE file. Full ADNOC §9.8 detail is on the [H₂S gas detectors] page.
Pricing
Gas detector prices in the UAE

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes — smell is not a safe warning. H₂S deadens your sense of smell within minutes at dangerous levels, so it can seem to “disappear” as it gets more lethal, and gases like carbon monoxide and methane have no smell at all. A detector reads the actual concentration; your nose can’t.
Disposable units like the BW Clip and SENKO SP-SGT run 2 or 3 years from activation, then the whole device is replaced — no sensor swaps. Serviceable multi-gas detectors keep going for years, but their individual sensors have their own lives (roughly 2–5 years) and are replaced as they age. Unactivated stock also has a shelf life, so we rotate to supply fresh units.
In practice, yes. UAE occupational-safety frameworks — OSHAD in Abu Dhabi, and the permit-to-work systems on ADNOC and major contractor sites — require the atmosphere to be tested before entry and monitored throughout. A calibrated direct-reading detector is how that requirement is met.
The low alarm is an early warning — take action or prepare to leave. The high alarm means evacuate now. Multi-gas units add TWA and STEL alarms, which track your average exposure over a full shift and over any 15-minute window, catching slow build-ups a single reading would miss.
Yes — the units we supply are rated to +50°C ambient (and down to −40°C), covering UAE outdoor conditions, with 5–95% humidity tolerance. The one thing to avoid is leaving a detector on a dashboard or in a sealed vehicle, where temperatures climb well past the rated limit and can shorten sensor life.
