Ethane Gas Monitoring Equipment
Ethane (C2H6) is a colorless, odorless gas that is a by-product of petroleum refining. It is a component of natural gas and is used in the production of ethylene, anti-freeze, plastics, and detergents. Ethane gas is flammable at room temperature and becomes highly explosive when mixed with air. Liquid ethane vapors are heavier than air and displace oxygen, creating an asphyxiation hazard at higher concentrations. If ethane gas is used in your industrial setting, a high-quality ethane detector can mitigate the risks of dangerous gas concentration levels.
Ethane Gas Sensors and Monitoring Systems
RC Systems offers affordable, high-performance ethane gas detection equipment in several models and configurations. Select from single-point or dual-sensor gas detectors for monitoring one or more gases. We also offer CSA certified ethane gas detectors for Class 1, Division 1 or Class 1, Division 2 locations. Keep your combustible gas detection system in superior operating condition with our replacement sensors and calibration kits.

Flammable Ethane Gas Hazards & Health Risks
Because ethane/air mixtures are highly flammable, they can be easily ignited by sparks or open flames, leading to potentially dangerous situations, including an explosion. In confined spaces, ethane can act as an asphyxiant, creating an environment that may lead to dizziness, unconsciousness, or even death due to oxygen deficiency. Therefore, proper ventilation and monitoring are essential when working with ethane to prevent such health risks, especially in the event of a gas leak.
Industrial Uses for Ethane Detection Systems
In addition to its primary use as a petrochemical feedstock in the production of ethylene, ethane is used as a refrigerant in cryogenic refrigeration systems and for other applications. Given its flammable nature, implementing gas detection systems in industrial settings is crucial to monitor ethane levels and increase workplace safety.
