MPS Flammable Gas Sensor, for gas detection and quantification for worker safety and leak detection in drilling, transportation, and production of oil & gas and chemical products.
The smart sensor quickly detects and accurately quantifies over a dozen gases and gas mixtures using a standard factory calibration. It has built-in environmental compensation and automatic self-testing for fail-safe operation. It is intrinsically safe, robust, and extremely poison resistant. Sensor readings are output on a digital bus or configurable analog output – no added electronics are required. With a 5-year lifetime and no calibration required, the MPS Flammable Gas Sensor delivers industry-leading performance and a low cost of ownership.
Operating principle
The MPS Flammable Gas Sensor’s transducer is a micro-machined membrane with an embedded Joule heater and resistance thermometer. The MEMS transducer is mounted on a PCB and packaged inside a rugged enclosure open to ambient air. Presence of a flammable gas causes changes.in the thermodynamic properties of the air/gas mixture that are measured by the transducer. Sensor data are processed by patent-pending algorithms to report an accurate concentration and classify the flammable gas.
