Gas Sensor P12-CH4

VT

Type P12-CH4

Description: VT P12-CH4 is a new methane (CH4) NDIR detector made of CMOS-MEMS technology,
which has the characteristics of high infrared response rate,
high repeatability and high reliability.

The detector is packaged in a TO-39 metal tube, with a built-in high-
precision thermistor chip, which can compensate the ambient temperature.

And equipped with two infrared filter windows (the transmittance curve is shown in
the figure below), dual-channel detection,
which can offset the influence of the environment on the detector,
and can be widely used in CH4 NDIR gas detection and spectral analysis.

Features: 1.High infrared response rate, high signal-to-noise ratio
2.Dual window packaging, high reliability
3.Anti-electromagnetic interference
4.High precision thermistor including ambient temperature compensation
