Chauvin Arnoux C.A 895 CO Meter - Carbon Monoxide Tester

Chauvin Arnoux C.A 895 CO Meter

The Chauvin Arnoux C.A 895 is designed for detecting trace amounts of CO (Carbon Monoxide) it is a small and compact CO Meter and is protected by a shockproof sheath, the Physics Line C.A 895 CO-gas detector detects and measures Carbon Monoxide Emissions.

Some interesting info about Carbon Monoxide:

• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials: coal, paper, gasoline, diesel oil, gas, wood, etc.
• Lighter than air, it rapidly diffuses in the atmosphere leaving no way to detect it, which gives it its dangerous character.
• Many sources of carbon monoxide can be found in the home: gas stoves, fuel fired furnaces and gas water heaters and chimneys.
• Cigarette smoking: each smoked cigarette emits 50 mg of CO.
• To avoid dangerous levels of CO, it is important to maintain all combustion appliances in good working order: charcoal heaters, gas heaters, wood stoves, hot water heaters, gas stoves, open chimneys; schedule chimney-sweeping and flare conduit cleaning at least once a year.
• One must assure that there is adequate ventilation in rooms containing combustion installations (kitchen, garage, bathroom) and especially avoid blocking or crushing ventilation apertures.
