What is the difference between combustible and toxic detectors?
A combustible gas detector is used to detect the concentration of a single or multiple combustible gases. There are two types of combustible gas detectors: catalytic combustion type and infrared optical type. When combustible gas enters the sensor, the oxidation reaction (flameless combustion) it produces appears on the surface of the platinum wire. The heat causes the temperature of the platinum wire to rise, and the resistivity of the platinum wire changes. The generated data is transmitted to the display panel.
Toxic gas detectors can be used to monitor the concentration of toxic gases in the fields of petroleum, chemical, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring the safety of workers!
There are three types of harmful gas detectors: basically using the principle of electrochemical detection. In addition, there are also infrared optical types and infrared optical types PID photoionization type.
When toxic and harmful gases pass through the sensor, the sensor will change its concentration, and the generated data will be transmitted to the display panel.
Industrial sites and laboratories often use combustible and toxic gases. For the safety of workers and industrial sites, it is necessary for every staff member to know how to distinguish these two types of gas detectors and how to use them.
