Methane Sensor Specifications

High performance, general purpose CH4 sensor that provides a temperature compensated and linear CH4 measurement over sensing range. The instrument uses proven non-dispersive infra red (NDIR) sensor technology to detect and monitor the presence of methane gas. The sensor contains a long life tungsten filament infrared light source, an optical cavity into which gas diffuses, a dual temperature compensated pyroelectric infrared detector, an integral semiconductor temperature sensor and electronics to process the signals from the pyroelectric detector.

The sensor outputs actual CH4 readings, compensated for temperature in the range -20C and +50C.sensor_CO2a
Typical resolution 0.01% volume for the range 0-10% volume methane and 0.1% volume for the range 10-100% volume.
