Propane/LPG (C3H8) Detector
Propane is a colourless gas which is heavier than air gas and will therefore sink and stay at a low level when released to the atmosphere.

Propane is a colourless gas which is heavier than air gas and will therefore sink and stay at a low level when released to the atmosphere.
Detector location should be at lower levels (approx 20 cm to 30cm from the floor).
Detectors are set to alert at a pre-alarm level of 5% LEL and high-alarm of 10% LEL.
Propane is a colourless, flammable heavier than air gas.
Propane is commonly used as a fuel and is one of a group of liquefied petroleum gases.

Commercial
Monitoring for a gas leak with valve isolation is used as way of reducing identifiable risks. It is seen as a measure to help confirm the integrity of the installation and if a leak is detected to isolate the gas valve to prevent continual gas escape and to instigate an investigation and repair.
