What should I pay attention to when buying a carbon monoxide gas detector?

Carbon monoxide is a common gas. When we need to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment, we need to use a carbon monoxide detector. A carbon monoxide detector is a detection device that can detect the concentration of carbon monoxide in various environments. This type of detection equipment is portable and fixed, which can help us perform relevant tests. However, many users will not know where to start when choosing this type of carbon monoxide detector. They don’t know what to pay attention to. The following editor of Zetron Technology will introduce it to you in detail.

First, we need to determine which sensor to choose. When we detect carbon monoxide, we basically use electrochemical sensors, but there are several types of electrochemical sensors for detecting carbon monoxide concentrations, so we need to choose according to our detection environment. The first type is an anti-interference sensor. This type of detector can resist the interference of other gases such as hydrogen on the detection results when used. Therefore, if there is hydrogen in the environment, you need to choose this type of sensor. If not, we can choose conventional ones. The second type is a two-in-one sensor. Due to the development of technology, there are now two-in-one sensors composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and oxygen. If we need to detect the concentration of gases such as oxygen or hydrogen sulfide while detecting carbon monoxide, we can choose this type of sensor for detection. When choosing a sensor, we also need to consider our detection range and resolution, because once the carbon monoxide concentration in the environment exceeds the range, not only will the detector be unable to detect it, but it will also cause impact and damage to the detector sensor. After determining the sensor according to the detection environment and detection range, we need to determine whether it is portable or fixed according to the detection requirements and usage scenarios. Portable means that it is small and can be carried with you, can be held in hand or worn on the pocket of a shirt, while fixed means that it is fixedly installed in one place and continuously detects the concentration of carbon monoxide and its changes in the environment. Therefore, it is also called an online detector, which can try to transmit the detection data to our various consoles.

Therefore, we also need to choose according to our usage scenarios. If we want to prevent the safety of staff in various work scenarios, we can choose to use a portable one. If we need to pay attention to the carbon monoxide concentration in the same environment at all times, we can use an online gas detector for detection.

The above points about buying a carbon monoxide gas detector are shared with you here. When we buy a carbon monoxide detector, after determining the sensor and detection form of the carbon monoxide detector, we also need to consider the detection budget, the brand awareness of the detector, the after-sales service of the detector and other factors.
