Reliable Detection of High Concentrations of Hydrocarbon Gases
The High Hydrocarbon (HHC) Gas Sensor is specifically designed to detect and monitor high concentrations of hydrocarbon gases, particularly in environments where gas levels are expected to be well above the upper explosive limit (UEL). With a measurement range of 0–100% by volume, this sensor ensures reliable performance in industrial settings where high concentrations of propane, n-butane, and LPG are common.
Key Features
- Wide Detection Range: Monitors hydrocarbon gases from 0–100% by volume.
- High-Range Monitoring: Designed for environments where gas concentrations often exceed normal levels, typically above the UEL.
- Multiple Gas Compatibility: Factory-calibrated for propane, n-butane, and LPG; allows selection of the desired gas in the field.
- Factory-Span Calibration: Each sensor is calibrated at the factory to ensure accurate and reliable readings for the selected gas.
Recommended Applications
The HHC sensor is ideal for industrial applications where high concentrations of hydrocarbon gases are likely to occur, including:
- LPG storage and transfer areas
- Industrial gas processing facilities
- Propane and butane handling operations
- Environments with frequent high hydrocarbon emissions
Important Considerations
- Not Recommended for Methane: This sensor is not suitable for methane detection.
- Not for Low-Concentration Monitoring: The HHC sensor is not designed to detect gases at or below the lower explosive limit (LEL). Users should select an appropriate LEL sensor for low-level detection needs.
How It Works
The HHC sensor continuously measures the concentration of hydrocarbons in the air. Its robust design allows accurate readings even in areas with high vapor concentrations, providing essential data to maintain safety and compliance in potentially explosive environments.
By using a factory-calibrated span for each specific gas, the sensor ensures that field personnel can quickly select the appropriate gas type for monitoring, reducing setup time and ensuring reliable operation.
Summary
The High Hydrocarbon (HHC) Gas Sensor is a high-performance, high-range gas detection solution for environments where hydrocarbon concentrations may approach or exceed explosive limits. Engineered for propane, n-butane, and LPG, this sensor provides accurate, reliable monitoring in industrial facilities while supporting safety protocols and regulatory compliance.
For applications involving high-concentration hydrocarbon monitoring, the HHC sensor is an essential tool for industrial safety and process monitoring.
