Transcript Interscan Corporation Overview

Providing Cost Effective
And Reliable
Gas Detection Solutions
Since 1975
WHO IS INTERSCAN?
We manufacture and sell
toxic gas analyzers/monitors/detectors
and related data-logging products
exclusively
We manufacture our own patented
electrochemical voltametric sensors
for 18 gases

WHAT ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS?
We manufacture toxic gas detectors, primarily used
for compliance monitoring in the workplace
Interscan does not manufacture confined space entry monitors
(typified by hand-held “4-gas” monitors---generally measuring CO and H2S as well as % LEL and O2 deficiency)
Interscan does not manufacture outdoor
environmental (EPA equivalence or reference) monitors
Although Interscan is certainly aware of other detection methods,
since we manufacture electrochemical voltametric sensors,
this is our core competency and primary detection method
We can provide other detection methods via
systems integration and custom design
WHY CHOOSE INTERSCAN?
Being both the manufacturer of the sensor and
the instrument affords Interscan optimum
applications flexibility
We are a privately held company, providing
reliable and affordable toxic gas detection
solutions for more than 30 years
We know how to solve your gas detection
problem!
BASIC TERMS
TLV: Threshold Limit Value
TWA: Time-weighted average exposure concentration
for a conventional 8 hour workday and a 40 hour work-week
STEL: Short-Term Exposure Limit. Usually a 15 minute TWA
exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday
Action Level: This is for benchmark purposes for the initial
screening of a workplace. This level is one-half of the allowable
8 hour TWA for a particular substance. Should levels equal or
exceed this amount, then regular monitoring must be employed
ppm (Part Per Million) 1 ppm= 1,000 ppb. 1%= 10,000 ppm
ppb (Part Per Billion) 1 ppb = 0.001 ppm
Early 1900s combustible gas was being detected in mines
MSA started in 1914

I.H. Section of the American Public Health Assoc. started in 1914
40 Years or so after - I.H. section blossomed into the two
associations we know today
A.C.G.I.H
A.I.H.A.
Until this point, gas detection consisted of % level measurements
Monitoring for combustibles does not require specificity
Monitoring for combustibles does not require sensitivity

For 30 years Interscan has provided products ranging from
the very simple…to the most creative in system integration
Our equipment has been installed in
multi-level parking garages, steel plants,
hospitals, pulp and paper mills,
power plants, water treatment plants, and
military/aerospace applications…
to name but a few
Whether the instrument is one of our Vikane® monitors-the definitive clearance device used in the building
fumigation industry-or our Halimeter® (as seen in thousands of dental offices around
the world)
you can always count on Interscan for product reliability, integrity
and matchless support.
