I wondered if anyone has experience of purchasing multi gas meters. There seems to be plenty on the market and each supplier tells me their own is the best and easiest (as I would). It will be used for oxygen, co, sulphur oxide and it will not be an explosive environment.
I wanted to know if a specific make has a better reputation than another or is easier to use etc.
Thanks

Hi, I worked for an organisation that extensively used portable "Neotronics" atmosphere monitors for over three decades. The kit was easy to use, very reliable and had low power consumption. They could be configured as simple "go / no go" devices or could be used for real time data logging. We mainly used them for Oxygen, Hydrogen Sulphide and Methane detection. We also used single gas monitors for Chlorine. Here is a link to a supplier in England. (we used a different supplier here in Northern Ireland). http://www.jmwlimited.co...ll_I_S.html?d=hhoneywellPH2

We use Crowcon Tetra 3 monitors. They're a reasonable price - shop around though because many suppliers will try to get you to pay full 'retail' whereas others will discount - and have been reliable in the configuration and situation in which we use them. If budget is important (and why would it not be) then don't overlook the 6-monthly calibration check costs.

We use MSA 4 gas type monitors. There quite rugged (have to be for aquanauts), and are able to be configured for different gas types by changing the sensors. Good battery life, and very easy to read.
Carbon Monoxide is flammable, and its recommended to always have a meter that can sense LEL

I am also familiar with Tetra 3 gas monitors which have not given any problems. The only criterion which I am aware is whether they are ATEX rated, but if you not using them to detect explosive atmospheres it may not be relevant. That said, some innocuous substances may become explosive in different circumstances.
