Cedar Hill, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2015 -- Gas Clip Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of Portable multi gas detectors, announced that the battery life of the company's Multi Gas Clip detector has been found to greatly outlast that of all competing devices. Conventional multi-gas detectors, particularly those based on pellistors, must be charged as often as twice per working day, adding to expenses and cutting down on the effectiveness and output of field technicians. Making use of advanced photometric technology instead, Gas Clip Technologies' Multi Gas Clip provides two full months of service time between charges, with spans of 4 months being possible if the unit is shut down at the end of the working day. The Multi Gas Clip also remains accurate for six months between calibrations, further improving its value proposition.

"One of the greatest inconveniences most portable multi-gas detectors present is that they have to be recharged so frequently," Gas Clip Technologies representative Brent Dyson said, "Our new Multi Gas Clip, on the other hand, goes for months on a single charge. This is a revolutionary development and one that is saving our customers valuable time and money every day."

Being able to detect the presence of flammable gases in the field is a critical safety requirement in many situations. Traditionally, this has been accomplished with devices based around pellistors, small sensors invented in the 1950s that make use of heated ceramic pellets to discover airborne variations in electrical resistance that signal the presence of gas. While effective, these devices are hungry for power, with many of them requiring a steady stream of electricity to heat the ceramic elements within them, meaning that such detectors must be charged frequently, taking them out of service and using up the valuable time of technicians.

With the company's Multi Gas Clip portable gas detectors, Gas Clip Technologies presents a compelling alternative. Instead of being based upon crude, electricity-intensive pellistors, Multi Gas Clip detectors incorporate a low-power infrared source and use photometric technology to accurately detect the presence of a range of flammable, potentially dangerous gases.

In the case of the Multi Gas Clip unit, as the company's just-announced research has revealed, this means battery life that outlasts that of most competitors by months. The hand-held Multi Gas Clip also boasts a 6-month calibration cycle, another important benefit that makes it an even more cost-effective solution to portable gas-detecting needs.

For applications where gas detection in confined or distant spaces is required, the company's Multi Gas Clip Pump is just as revolutionary. With an internal pump and included sampling hose, that unit offers run times of 5 days between charges, far more than competing units, along with the 6 month calibration of the basic Multi Gas Clip unit, while drawing samples from as far away as 75 feet.

Docks are also available for both units that allow for testing up to four devices at once, greatly improving testing efficiency and reducing gas usage.
