The RX-8700 series portable gas monitors are designed to meet the requirements of the marine market for testing of cargoes and confined spaces for hydrocarbon and oxygen content. These models provide real time detection of hydrocarbons and methane up to 100 % volume, with the gas reading automatically ranging up and down from % LEL to % volume as the concentration changes. A long life galvanic type oxygen sensor is also available with a range of 0-25 % volume. Hydrocarbons and methane are detected using an NDIR
(non-dispersive infrared) sensor that can detect in inerted and ambient environments.

Applications:
• Crude Oil Carriers
• Bulk Carriers
• Chemical Tankers
• Cargo and Ballast tanks
• HC measurement during gas free and tank cleaning

The RX-8500 is capable of measuring CH4 (methane) as combustible gas, whereas RX-8700 is capable of measuring general combustible gases HC (isobutane converted).
