Gas Monitors for Reliable Confined Space and Combustible Gas Detection
EE+S rents and sells gas monitors from RKI Instruments and RAE Systems for confined space entry, leak tracing, and VOC detection. The RKI GX-2012 and GX-2009 cover standard 4-gas confined space monitoring, the Gas Tracer adds methane leak-tracing, the GX-6000 scales up to six gas channels, and PID models (GX-6000 PID, RAE MiniRAE 3000) add VOC detection for hazmat and remediation work. All rental units are pumped instruments, not passive sensors, for faster response and more reliable sampling.
Which Gas Monitor Do You Need?
| Monitor | Gases Detected | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| RKI GX-2009 | LEL, H₂S, CO, O₂ | Compact personal confined space monitor |
| RKI GX-2012 | LEL, H₂S, CO, O₂ | Confined space entry & pipeline monitoring |
| RKI Gas Tracer | LEL, H₂S, CO, O₂, CH₄ | Methane leak tracing, gas line purging, barhole tests |
| RKI GX-6000 | Up to 6 gas channels | Multi-gas monitoring for industrial applications |
| RKI GX-6000 PID | VOCs + LEL, H₂S, CO, O₂ | VOC detection for hazmat & remediation projects |
| RAE QRAE 3 | LEL, H₂S, CO, O₂ | Standard 4-gas confined space monitoring, RAE platform |
| RAE MiniRAE 3000 | VOCs (PID) | Industrial hygiene & environmental VOC investigations |
Full-Service Gas Monitor Rentals
EE+S’s rental fleet includes some of the most respected models in the industry, and all of them are pumped instruments rather than passive sensors — faster response times and more reliable sampling in demanding environments. Every rental includes a rugged transport case, a regulator for calibration, tubing for active sampling, and a 115V charger, maintained to manufacturer specifications.

Advanced PID Monitors for VOC Detection
For volatile organic compound applications, EE+S’s photoionization detectors provide the precision and sensitivity needed in industrial hygiene and environmental investigations — ideal for sniffing VOCs in indoor air quality investigations, hazmat assessments, or remediation projects.
RKI Instrument Sales and Support
In addition to its rental fleet, EE+S is an authorized distributor of RKI Instruments, offering a wide selection of monitors and replacement parts, including the GX-2012, Gas Tracer, GX-6000, GX-Force, and the GX-3R (sale item only). Looking for a compact 6-gas option? See the dedicated RKI GX-6100 page for that specific model.
FAQ
What’s the difference between the RKI GX-2012 and the GX-6000?
The GX-2012 is a standard 4-gas confined space and pipeline monitor. The GX-6000 scales up to six gas channels and adds a PID option, making it the choice for applications that need broader gas coverage or VOC detection alongside standard confined-space gases.
Can I rent a gas monitor instead of buying one?
Yes — EE+S rents most of its gas monitor lineup, including the RKI GX-2009, GX-2012, Gas Tracer, GX-6000, and GX-Force, plus RAE Systems units. The RKI GX-3R is currently sale-only. All rentals come calibrated, charged, and ready to deploy.
Which monitor do I need for methane leak tracing?
The RKI Gas Tracer is built for this — it adds CH₄ detection to the standard LEL, H₂S, CO, and O₂ readings, making it the right choice for gas line purging, barhole tests, and leak investigation.
Why Choose EE+S?
With over three decades of field experience, EE+S’s gas monitoring equipment is calibrated and quality-checked before every rental, with same-day shipping available for many units and expert technical support from seasoned professionals.
