Infrared vs. Catalytic Bead Gas Detectors: Usage in Combustible Gas Safety Monitoring
Combustible gas safety monitoring systems for gas, oil, petrochemical or other applications will likely make use of catalytic bead or infrared gas detection technology. Both of these sensing technologies can be beneficial, depending on the specific requirements of the application. Comprehensively analyzing an application’s particular field environment is necessary in order to ensure optimal safety, performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Rushing such a decision may result in poor detector choices, which in turn lead to reductions in performance, safety, maintenance and life-cycle...
