- How Combustible-Gas Sensors Work
Combustible-gas detection in finishing environments commonly uses catalytic-bead or infrared sensing. A catalytic bead burns a trace of the gas and reads the heat; it is robust but can be poisoned by silicones and needs oxygen to function. ...
- Commissioning and Calibration
A gas-detection system is commissioned, not just installed. You verify sensor placement against where vapor actually collects, confirm alarm and shutdown setpoints against the LEL of the specific chemistry, and bump-test with a known gas co...
