Product & Technology Selection

For metallurgy applications, detector selection should cover sensing principle, range, response time, hazardous area rating, ingress protection, and maintenance. High-temperature zones: Sensepoint high-temp or IR; general areas: catalytic LEL + electrochemical CO; O₂ monitoring at oxygen plants and confined-space entries.

Selection Principles

• Combustible gas: catalytic for non-inhibited atmospheres; IR for poisoned environments (offshore, tank farms)
• Toxic gas: electrochemical sensors with cross-interference and range matching (e.g. H₂S 0–50 ppm)
• Oxygen: monitor both deficiency (<19.5%) and enrichment (>23.5%)
• Installation: High temperature, dust, vibration, explosion-hazard zones — 316 stainless housing, IP66+ outdoors
• Outputs: 4-20mA and Modbus RTU for DCS/SCADA integration
