SENSOR / DETECTOR CALIBRATION
TARGET OF THE PROJECT
Measurements of cross sensitivity of gas sensors to to non-standard gases
Description of the Application.
Benefits and Savings.
With GB100 gas blender, we can easily conduct repeatability tests that can be used to verify components quality.
Last use of the blender is mid-term gas response testing.
Software allows for managing gas application sequence, which is crucial during tests related to performance standards.
GAS SENSOR MEASUREMENT
Gas Blender vs. Gas Cylinder
The ability to blend different gases on-demand is an incredibly powerful tool in the development of innovative gas detection equipment. And provides a level of flexibility that gas cylinders cannot provide. Mixing of gases allowing for analysis of sensor response over a wide range of concentrations.
Cost and Space Saving
Significant reduction of number of gas mixtures required for initial sensor characterization. Usually one mixture and balance gas is enough. Buying cylinders is expensive and limits the availability of mixtures that may be required. Gas cylinders are also large and often require special storage arrangements, as well as taking up valuable space.
Successful Achievement
The MCQ gas blender is used for measurements of cross sensitivity of gas sensors to gases which might potentially occur in field application. Allowing on-demand, real time characterisation of sensors.
Flexibility and Compactness
By using the MCQ gas blender it is possible to dial up a simulation of a mixture at any time, and to a certain degree, different concentrations of the blended gas mixture. Compact gas blending solution that can be used in many applications, easy to transfer and operate.
Software Automation
Thanks to our Software PRO Version and its option "Automatic Program", now the SGX can bring forward experiments in automation. Moreover Software is easy to operate (no need for long training of personel).
Stable Flow and Repeatability
Thanks to our revolutionary method every gas flow has a great stability as SGX can easily conduct repeatability tests that can be used to verify components quality.

Company Info:
For more than 50 years, SGX Sensortech, has remained at the forefront of air quality sensors and modules.
Our innovative products have helped protected the occupants of cars from deteriorating air quality whilst driving through polluted cities, reduced the cost of air conditioning in buildings and made the work environment a safer place from flammable and toxic gas hazards.
At Amphenol-ASTG, we make Quality, Safety and Environmental Protection a top priority. We believe that making sustainable choices in the way we conduct our business creates short-term and long-term value for our stakeholders. We do not create long-term value by merely complying with regulations, but we go beyond compliance to find ways to green our operations and our products to ensure continuity of the material and human resources that we need to operate the business.
