A hydride leak detection system is highly recommended for silane and other pyrophoric
gases. Although these gases will normally ignite and burn immediately when they leak
to atmosphere, under certain conditions they can pocket and detonate with devastating
force. A hydride monitor can detect leaking silane and shutdown the system eliminating
or reducing the risk and size of explosion.
