Gas & Chemical Sensors

Gas and chemical sensors are specialized detection devices designed to identify and measure the presence of gases or airborne chemical compounds within an environment. These sensors convert chemical interactions into electrical signals that can be analyzed by monitoring systems. 

Several sensor technologies are commonly used in industrial monitoring deployments. 

Electrochemical Gas Sensors 

Electrochemical sensors detect gases through chemical reactions occurring within an electrochemical cell. When target gases interact with the sensing electrode, an electrical current proportional to the gas concentration is produced. These sensors are widely used for detecting gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen. 

Infrared Gas Sensors 

Infrared sensors measure gas concentrations by analyzing how specific gases absorb infrared light at particular wavelengths. These sensors are frequently used for detecting gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons in industrial environments. 

Catalytic Combustion Sensors 

Catalytic sensors detect combustible gases by measuring heat generated when gases oxidize on a catalytic surface. These sensors are commonly deployed in environments where flammable gases may be present. 

Semiconductor Gas Sensors 

Semiconductor sensors detect gases by measuring changes in electrical resistance caused by chemical interactions between gases and a sensing material. 

Asset Track Pro integrates these sensor technologies into environmental monitoring systems that operate alongside equipment monitoring infrastructure deployed across industrial environments. 

Gas monitoring sensors deployed in industrial environments often include advanced capabilities that allow organizations to monitor environmental conditions while maintaining awareness of equipment status and operational safety.
