Press Releases of InfraTec

Gas detectors for detecting explosive and combustible gases are an indispensable part of the protective equipment of the fire brigade, disaster relief and other civil rescue teams. The most accurate knowledge possible about the explosive gases and their spatial expansion is decisive for ensuring fast, safe and efficient intervention.

A measuring instrument that can determine sound scientific data must be calibrated beforehand. Only then can it output reliable information that is deemed comparable and repeatable. As leading bodies, institutions such as the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) or the National Institute of Standards (NIST) constitute the basis worldwide for the correct calibration of measuring instruments. InfraTec supports the work of PTB and NIST and provide them with detectors such as the LIE-651.

The technical development in the field of industrial fire protection and early fire detection has made tremendous progress during recent years. InfraTec now presents a new pyroelectric detector that can give more impetus to this development.

Ten years ago, InfraTec opened its first international branch. What began in 2007 in Grapevine within close proximity to the Dallas metropolis of millions, has been continued for several years by employees a few miles east in Plano. "At that time, we approached the project very cautiously.

The InfraTec product range of pyroelectric detectors has been developing steadily over the past few years. A new product catalogue shows which single and multichannel sensors the Dresden-based company has to offer for gas analysis, flame detection and NDIR spectroscopy.
