Description
Gastec CM-9A Carbon monoxide detector
Gastec CM-9A is a compact, badge-type personal exposure monitor (dosimeter) designed for continuous ambient Carbon Monoxide (CO) detection in industrial workplaces, boiler rooms, and emergency response settings.
Unlike mechanical piston pumps or electronic sensors requiring batteries, the CM-9A operates passively via passive diffusion colorimetric chemistry, providing personal shift-long exposure monitoring or spot verification of carbon monoxide build-up.
Core Operating Principle
Passive Gas Diffusion: Ambient carbon monoxide diffuses through a porous protective membrane on the front of the detector badge without requiring an air sampling pump.
- Visual Stain Comparison: The indicator element shifts color from light yellow/tan to dark gray/black. The cumulative exposure or concentration level is evaluated by comparing the color intensity against a calibrated color chart provided on the badge holder.
