Drager X-am 2500 Multi Gas Detector
Dräger X-am 2500 Multi-Gas Detector
The Dräger X-am 2500 is a robust and versatile multi-gas detector designed to simultaneously monitor flammable gases, oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulphide (H₂S).
Available in single, dual, three-gas, and four-gas configurations, it is ideal for use in hazardous industrial environments including refineries, chemical plants, mining operations, and general industry applications.
The detector offers simple operation, extensive data logging capabilities, and the flexibility to switch between diffusion and pumped sampling modes without the need for tools.
