Professional sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) sensors for sale, providing precise detection for industrial monitoring and power equipment. The gas sensors utilize non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology with measurement ranges of 0~500ppm or 0~1000ppm and 1ppm resolution. The sensors support RS485, 4-20mA, 0-5V, and 0-10V outputs, featuring an average power consumption of just 0.95W, making them ideal for long-term operation.
This gas sensor employs NDIR spectral absorption technology and actively extracts the target gas. As a greenhouse gas, SF6 exhibits strong absorption characteristics for infrared light within specific wavelength bands. When infrared radiation emitted by an infrared light source passes through a certain concentration of the target gas, the light intensity at the specific wavelength (10.6 μm for SF6) changes proportionally to the gas concentration. This change is described by the Lambert-Beer law. Therefore, the gas concentration can be calculated based on the variation in light intensity.
Sulfur hexafluoride gas sensors primarily detect SF₆ concentrations in the air. SF₆ is widely used in high-voltage circuit breakers and gas-insulated equipment within the power industry. Leaks can contribute to the greenhouse effect and pose safety risks. The sensor continuously monitors SF₆ levels and triggers an alarm when concentrations exceed preset thresholds, enabling users to take timely action.
Most SF₆ gas sensors utilize either non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical principles or electrochemical detection. NDIR offers high accuracy and long lifespan, making it suitable for continuous monitoring. Electrochemical sensors provide rapid response times, ideal for portable or low-power applications. Users can select the appropriate model based on their specific application requirements.
The SF₆ gas sensors are commonly used in power substations, high-voltage switchgear, gas-insulated equipment bays, SF₆ storage cylinder rooms, and similar environments. They are also applicable for laboratory and industrial gas leak monitoring. Real-time monitoring reduces gas loss, prevents equipment damage, and safeguards personnel safety.
