Most gas detector companies sell equipment. Gastech designs and builds it too. Our in-house R&D function gives us a level of product understanding and development capability that very few Australian companies in this space can match and it shows in every instrument we manufacture.

Product development at Gastech is driven by a clear philosophy: build for the user, not the spec sheet. Every project starts with a marketing brief focused entirely on how the end user will interact with the gas detector in the field. From there, a multidisciplinary team of mechanical, hardware, firmware, software and embedded systems engineers takes the brief through design, simulation, prototyping and certification. By the time a product reaches tooling stage, it has already been stress-tested virtually and physically against the real-world conditions it will face.

The same engineering capability that builds our own gas detectors supports our project and application engineering work. Customers with specific requirements, whether it’s a non-standard gas, a complex installation environment or an integrated safety system, can draw on the same depth of expertise that goes into every Gastech-manufactured instrument.

Gastech’s R&D team is based in WA and supports gas detector projects across Australia and internationally. If you have a specific application or a challenge that standard products don’t address, we’d like to hear about it.
