GasTiger 2000 NH₃ Ammonia Gas Detector — Delivery to Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam

This article features a GasTiger 2000 NH₃ ammonia detector delivered to a facility in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu.

About Ammonia (NH₃)

Ammonia is a colorless gas with a sharp, pungent odor, formed from nitrogen and hydrogen. It has long been used as a raw material for fertilizer production and is found across many industries — including refrigeration systems, explosives manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, and livestock facilities.

Ammonia causes physiological effects that vary with concentration.

Physiological effects of ammonia at various concentrations

Ammonia is a toxic substance with serious health impacts. Under Korea's OSHA, occupational exposure limits are TWA 25 ppm and STEL 35 ppm. At high concentrations, ammonia can be fatal — continuous monitoring is essential wherever it is handled.

GasTiger 2000 NH₃ — Product Overview

After powering on, allow approximately 30 seconds of warm-up. The unit vibrates briefly and the measurement screen appears with the current reading.

The main display shows the NH₃ concentration. Temperature and humidity are shown at the top, and maximum and minimum recorded values appear at the bottom.

A belt/pocket clip on the rear allows the instrument to be worn on the body during field work, keeping hands free.

The side vent port exhausts sampled air. The internal pump can be switched on or off as needed — active mode for fast detection, diffusion mode for extended battery life.

A rugged hard carry case is included, making the kit easy to transport and store during extended field assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. In which industrial environments does ammonia typically occur?

Ammonia is most commonly encountered in cold storage and refrigeration facilities using ammonia refrigerants, fertilizer manufacturing plants, semiconductor and display fabs, livestock buildings (pig farms, poultry houses), water treatment facilities, and food processing plants. Ammonia refrigerant systems in cold storage carry particularly high leak risk and require continuous monitoring.

Q2. What are the occupational exposure limits for ammonia?

Under Korea's OSHA: TWA 25 ppm (8-hour time-weighted average) and STEL 35 ppm (15-minute short-term exposure limit). Ammonia becomes detectable by odor at approximately 5 ppm; at higher concentrations it causes severe eye and respiratory irritation and can be life-threatening.

Q3. Why does ammonia require a dedicated sensor?

Ammonia is highly adsorptive and can interact with sampling line materials and sensor surfaces, affecting accuracy if not properly managed. A dedicated electrochemical NH₃ sensor ensures reliable measurement. High-range sensors (up to 1,000 ppm or 5,000 ppm) are also available for applications involving higher concentrations.

Q4. When would the pump be switched off during use?

Diffusion mode (pump off) is useful for extended continuous monitoring where battery conservation is a priority, or in quiet environments where pump noise is unwanted. For pre-entry checks, spot inspections in potentially hazardous areas, or situations requiring fast detection, the pump should be activated.

Q5. Is the hard carry case included as standard or optional?

It depends on the kit configuration selected. The case may be included in the standard package or ordered as an option. It is particularly recommended for field personnel who frequently transport equipment between sites or need secure long-term storage.
