Could anyone tell me where can I buy a hydrogen gas measuring device or any handheld test equipment for hydrogen gas?

For a good portable Gas Detection System try "Drager" their 'Miniwarn' is a hand held device that can be set (with different canisters) to warn of Safe working limits etc..

Easy to use and just about idiot proof. Very hard to damage. Built for mining conditions

Don't know if it can detect H gas but probably could. Try their web site at www.draeger-safety.com

Thank you

Is there any other equipment manufacturer? Drager's testing device is not suitable for my application since they are made for other type of application.

I need a device that can measure a low density/ low pressure hydrogen gas like those of household testing tool.

Without knowing exactly what you are doing or the %'s you are reading it's not easy but I believe Nova can probably assist.

Dragers can do hydrogen but not in very high %'s without you using dilution.

I am doing a hydrogen on demand research I have finished my apparatus and a sizeable amount of hydrogen is felt but I want to measure the exact amount being produce. This is where I need the testing tool or equipment, either inline or handheld.

Please help

What sort of quantity/ percentage of hydrogen are you wishing to measure. I went through the exercise recently as I required an instrument to measure protective atmosphere in a furnace.

Thank you,

The application is to measure a pure low density/ low pressure hydrogen gas coming from the source.

I have ask MKS and they don't have it for my application. What I actually need is a tool or equipment that measures up hydrogen gas flow and mass.
