On 1 July 2011 Austech Instruments business and assets were acquired by Ampcontrol CSM Pty Limited.
Austech Instruments was established in 1982, and has almost 30 years experience in the design and manufacture of gas detection equipment and systems. As Ampcontrol CSM we will continue to develop and provide gas detection and environmental monitoring solutions across Australia and the world.
We will continue to offer a large range of detection systems to suit many different applications. These are available for non-hazardous applications as well as hazardous environments using various explosion protection techniques.
Our range includes single, four and twelve channel system controllers; multi-channel (expandable) system controllers; single cable, multi sensor systems; fire/gas/emergency shut down (ESD) control and monitoring systems and sample draw systems.
Our gas detectors are suitable for oxygen and a vast array of combustible and toxic gases. Sensor operating principles utilised for these products include Infrared, Catalytic and Electrochemical. We also supply and service a range of portable gas detectors which measure from one to five gases simultaneously and detect flammable and toxic gases, ensuring the ultimate in safety.
We have in-house facilities for environmental, vibration and RFI/EMI testing plus the infrastructure needed to design products suited to the climatic conditions they will be exposed to when in operation.
