Toxic Gas Detector Spectrex Quasar 960
The Spectrex Quasar 960 Open Path is a high-performance industrial solution for continuous detection of toxic gases over long distances, using infrared (IR) open path technology.
The system operates on the open path principle and consists of a transmitter and a receiver that create an IR beam between them. It detects toxic gases by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation along the entire optical path, providing accurate volumetric detection.
Developed by Spectrex Inc., the system is designed for critical applications where continuous gas monitoring is essential for safety and process reliability.
Quasar 960 is suitable for:
- refineries and petrochemical plants
- chemical industry
- process facilities
- energy and utility infrastructure
Reliable operation is ensured even in challenging environmental conditions such as dust, fog, rain, or temperature fluctuations.
