Leak Detection
Leakages in the facility can be caused by wear and tear or mechanical damage to pipework, pumps or valves. For the safety of employees and the facility itself it is extremely important that these damages are located as soon and precisely as possible. Our mobile and fixed gas detection solutions measure different, single or multiple gases and warn timely in case of possible leaks.
Dräger X-am 3500
The Dräger X-am 3500 was especially designed for clearance measurements. The 1 to 4 gas detector reliably detects flammable gases and vapours as well as O2, CO, H2S, NO2 and SO2. The innovative signalling design and extensive range of accessories ensure optimum safety and easy handling.
Dräger Polytron® 7000
The Dräger Polytron® 7000 gas detector can satisfy many toxic and oxygen gas measurement applications on a single platform. With its innovative modular concept, the Dräger Polytron® 7000 offers the flexibility to configure the transmitter to fit your exact application.
Dräger Polytron® 8100 EC
The Polytron® 8100 EC is Dräger’s top of the line explosion-proof transmitter for the detection of toxic gases or oxygen. It uses a high performance plug and play electrochemical DrägerSensor to detect a specific gas. Besides having a 3-wire 4 to 20 mA analog output with relays, it also offers HART®, Modbus and Fieldbus protocol, making it compatible with most control systems.

Clearance Measurement
A correct and carefully performed clearance measurement before passing confined spaces and containers is one of the most important safety measures. It is also essential for the risk assessment that is carried out whenever these spaces are entered. In the age of digital data transfer clearance measurement jobs are changing: Away from complex manual documentation and long ways to fluid job processing.
Dräger X-am 8000
Clearance measurement was never this easy and convenient: The 1 to 7 gas detector detects toxic and flammable gases as well as vapours and oxygen all at once – either in pump or diffusion mode. Innovative signalling design and handy assistant functions ensure complete safety throughout the process.
X-pid 9500 / X-pid 9500+
The selective PID gas measurement device is ideal for users who frequently test for hazardous toxic substances. Butadiene, carbonates and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carcinogenic even in the smallest concentrations. Selective measurement is necessary because other gases and vapours are often also present. The gas measurement device allows for short test times and laboratory-quality results.

Personal Air Monitoring
In a lot of industrial environments workers need to be highly aware of exposure to gases, vapours or a lack of oxygen. For them personal portable gas detectors and analysers are of utmost importance. They must be able to detect, measure, monitor and react to any gases in the surrounding area. Our single- and multi-gas mobile gas monitors are able to detect a wide range of gases.
Dräger Pac® 8000
With the robust Dräger Pac® 8000, you’ll be well equipped for tough conditions: this non-disposable, personal single-gas detection device is a reliable and precise instrument, which detects hazardous concentrations of 29 different gases, including special gases like NO2, O3 or COCl2. Measured data can easily be transmitted into the Dräger Gas Detection Connect system via Bluetooth®.
Dräger Alcotest® 6000
The Dräger X-am 5000 belongs to a generation of gas detectors, developed especially for personal monitoring applications. This 1- to 5-gas detector reliably measures combustible gases and vapors as well as oxygen and harmful concentrations of toxic gases, organic vapors, Odorant and Amine.

Confined Space Entry
Dräger offers solutions and support for working in confined spaces. Guidance for confined space entry risk assessments helps prepare you with the procedures, permits to work and equipment necessary for confined space safety. Our experts offer professional tips and practical confined space training to help you follow correct procedures for working in confined spaces – or calmly deal with confined space rescue scenarios. Products, such as confined space monitoring equipment – including reliable confined space gas detectors and confined space entry equipment for personal protection – help provide confidence and security for site managers and plant workers alike.
Accidents in confined spaces – why do they happen?
A confined space is among the potentially most dangerous workplaces and confined space entry presents many challenges. Despite high safety precautions, too many accidents still happen worldwide, such as predominantly asphyxiation, exposure to hazardous substances or traumatic injuries to name just a few. Thus, when working in confined spaces, safety always comes first. Regarding the questions as to what causes an accident, there is more than one answer to that.
Risk assessment – manage hazards, risks and potential dangers
Risk or hazard – what’s the difference? What does a confined space risk assessment involve? A risk evaluation matrix helps you assess the challenges of confined space entry. Determine what confined space equipment is needed for the detection of any hazardous substances present and how to implement a safe system of work when working in confined spaces.
PPE – select and use protective equipment
Industrial environments present a wide range of hazards, with risks varying greatly depending on the specific situation and type of work. As a result, personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential. As trusted protective equipment manufacturers with over 130 years of experience, Dräger provides solutions that prioritize safety and efficiency. Our extensive range of PPE equipment is crafted to protect your workforce against various hazards.
