Effective detection of dangerous gases

March 2002 Sensors & Transducers

With their technology, flexibility and design, the new Oldham stainless steel sensors/transmitters are robust devices for flammable, toxic gases and oxygen deficiency detection.

This new generation of sensors are certified intrinsically safe and are easy to maintain. Some are also flame-proof. The sensing cell performance, accessories and remote version option, provide reliable and flexible solutions to meet a broad range of gas sensing needs in industry.

Some of the features include:

* The new generation OLC20, OLCT20D, OLC40, OLCT40, OLC50 and OLC60 sensor modules, are easily removed for service/replacement by bayonet coupling.

* Cells are equipped with a printed circuit and can be calibrated on an autonomous bench outside the hazardous areas.

* They are practical, easy to use and maintain.

* The sensing cells are not susceptible to being poisoned by contaminants.

* Robust stainless steel construction resistant to corrosive agents.

* Resistant to the ingression of dust and water.

The Oldham range offered by Sperosens is intended for use where it is essential to monitor the levels of gas in the working environment to warn of any likelihood of asphyxia, poisoning or explosion. The sensor in the illustration is the OLCT 40, which is especially resistant to external contaminants.
