Product & Technology Selection

For gas pipeline applications, detector selection should cover sensing principle, range, response time, hazardous area rating, ingress protection, and maintenance. Open station areas: open-path IR; compressor buildings: point IR or catalytic LEL; dense fixed points at valve skids; portable multi-gas for patrol.

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: Wide temperature range (-40°C to +50°C), remote unmanned sites — 316 stainless housing, IP66+ outdoors
• Outputs: 4-20mA and Modbus RTU for DCS/SCADA integration
