Gas Detection
Miniature Infrared Gas Sensor Series is now available with EN 50271/SIL 1 Certification
Jul 17 2014
The ‘Platinum’ series of miniature infrared gas sensors from Dynament (UK) have now been SIRA certified to EN 50271:2010 and therefore the sensors can be considered for use in the design of equipment which is intended to have a Safety Integrity Level in accordance with EN 61508. The sensors are available in either ‘Ex’ form for use in Original Equipment Manufacturer’s gas detectors or in ‘Non-Ex’ form for use in either non-hazardous area applications or in hazardous area certified equipment where the gas detector manufacturer provides the ‘Ex’ protection.
Single-Gas versions are available for detection of either Hydrocarbons (e.g. Methane, Propane, Butane etc) or Carbon Dioxide.
The company also offers a Dual-Gas version for the simultaneous measurement of Hydrocarbons / Carbon Dioxide within a single package. Both versions can accurately detect gas levels over the range of 0 to 100% volume. The sensors can be pre-configured for specific measurement ranges according to customer requirements. Methane versions feature auto-ranging in order to provide high resolution for Lower Explosive Level (LEL) measurement.
The standard operating temperature range for the sensors is -20 to +50 degrees C. Every individual sensor undergoes full temperature compensation over this range for Methane, Propane and Carbon Dioxide gases with the characteristics stored within the sensor electronics.
