Calibrating a gas detector is critical to ensure its accuracy and reliability in detecting potentially harmful gases in various environments. At Macurco, we recommend yearly calibration on all the gas monitors we manufacture.
One of the most common questions we receive, is “What height should I mount my gas detector?” This post will walk you through the most common gas types and where a Macurco gas monitor should be mounted for applicable safety.
The IAQ Indoor Air Quality Detector is designed to monitor and maintain adequate indoor air quality aiding with energy savings and mitigating stale polluted air

Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless gas with flammability limits in the air of 5.3% to 15%. Utility Natural Gas is almost pure Methane mixed with ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. The smell of natural gas is a “Mercaptan odorant.”
Propane (C3H8) Propane is a three-carbon alkaline is produced as a by-product of two other processes, natural gas processing, and petroleum refining. Propane is used as a fuel source for domestic, industrial, and transportation applications.
