Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Detectors

Protect workers and maintain safe operations with our fixed and portable hydrogen chloride detection systems, designed for chemical, refining, and semiconductor industries.

Detection is commonly achieved using electrochemical sensors with high sensitivity to low parts-per-million concentrations. These sensors provide rapid and reliable readings, enabling facilities to maintain compliance with occupational exposure limits. Regular calibration supports accuracy and long-term performance.

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a toxic, corrosive, and colourless gas with a sharp, irritating odour, widely used in chemical production, metal refining, and semiconductor manufacturing. On contact with moisture, it forms hydrochloric acid, which can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Even at low concentrations, HCl exposure can irritate the nose and throat, while prolonged exposure may result in chronic respiratory conditions.
