Gas Detection
The smart choice for flammable gas detection
Nov 18 2024
Flammable gas detection is a key aspect of industrial and environmental safety management, and the Sensitron SMART 3G Series not only ensures accurate detection but also complies with rigorous regulations and certifications, including ATEX, SIL, and IECEx, making it a reliable choice for safety and compliance in gas detection.
Gases like methane, propane, hydrogen, and gasoline pose serious health and safety risks, as well as threats to facilities and the surrounding environment. An effective detection system is crucial for preventing accidents, explosions, and fires.
There are several types of flammable gas detectors, each with specific characteristics and operating principles.
Catalytic sensors utilise a heated element coated with a catalyst, generating an electrical signal proportional to gas concentration when flammable gases come into contact. Infrared sensors measure gas levels by emitting infrared light, which is absorbed by the gas, allowing for precise concentration readings. Electrochemical sensors produce an electric current in response to gas interactions with an electrode, providing accurate measurements of gas levels.
Flammable gas detection is vital across multiple industries, including oil and gas, where gas leak risks are high, and mining, where workers are exposed to hazardous gases like methane. They are also critical in heating and cooling plants, where constant monitoring of propane and methane is necessary to avert potential dangers.
