Product Description

Gas leaks can be dangerous and even deadly if not detected and addressed promptly. Here are some common gas leak detection methods:

Smell - Natural gas is odorless, but utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs to make it easier to detect a leak. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately and call the gas company or emergency services.
Electronic Gas Detectors - Electronic gas detectors can detect gas leaks and sound an alarm. They are available in both portable and fixed models and are commonly used in homes and businesses.
Soap and Water - A mixture of soap and water can be used to detect a gas leak. Apply the solution to gas pipes or connections with a brush or spray bottle. If there is a gas leak, bubbles will form at the leak site.
Flame Detection - Gas leaks can also be detected using a flame detection method. A lit match or lighter can be used to detect a gas leak. If there is a gas leak, the flame will burn higher or brighter than usual.
Carbon Monoxide Detector - Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of incomplete combustion and can be present in gas leaks. Carbon monoxide detectors can detect gas leaks and sound an alarm if the levels of carbon monoxide in the air exceed a certain level.

It is important to regularly inspect gas lines and appliances for leaks, and to have a professional perform regular maintenance and inspections. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate the area immediately and call the gas company or emergency services.
