Gas detection
Published over 13 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Gas detection.
The demands on gas detection equipment manufacturers have become more stringent with a greater focus on performance, reliability and user-friendliness. As a result, manufacturers look to their sensor suppliers to sustain their competitiveness and to provide robust and sensing solutions for life critical applications.
For many years, electrochemical sensors have been used to measure toxic and oxygen depletion hazards with great success. However traditional sensor designs are constrained by the technology itself, requiring reservoirs of corrosive electrolyte to support performance in extremes of temperature and humidity. This necessitates larger sensor designs which have an impact on the minimum size of the gas detectors using them.
Solidsense (Germany) is a pioneering manufacturer of electrochemical gas sensors based on a unique solid electrolyte design. Available for carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen as well as long life oxygen, our products provide reliable and accurate gas sensing in a package no bigger than an average thumbnail. Boasting excellent environmental stability, fast response and accurate measurement they provide instrument manufacturers with a sensing solution to meet their customers’ needs now and in the future.
Please contact Solidsense to learn how we can drive innovation in your designs.
