What is the cause of the error in the detection result of combustible gas alarm?
Publication Date:2022/11/02 combustible gas alarm is currently widely used in some places where there may be combustible gas leakage and the use of gas detection instruments, so that it can effectively protect the concentration of combustible gas in the air to reach the critical point of explosion or poisoning alarm set, alarm. However, in the process of using combustible gas alarm, we sometimes encounter errors in the detection results of combustible gas alarm. Then do you know what causes the error in the detection result of combustible gas alarm ? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:

Combustible gas alarm detection results error, mainly caused:
1. Impact of environmental factors
There may be gases in the environment that cause sensor poisoning or inhibition (general users may not know what gases cause sensor poisoning or inhibition); dust or soot in the environment will block the detector probe, so that the sensitive element can not contact the combustible gas, resulting in the sensor response is not sensitive or no response.The installation position of combustible gas alarm often has water vapor, water droplets, humidity, etc., which will reduce its performance or damage. The combustible gas alarm detector installed outdoors will be insensitive when the temperature is lower than the allowable temperature in winter, and the rain and snow prevention measures are not good. Water inflow will lead to instrument failure or damage.
2. Uncertainty of testing site
3. Incorrect detection method used
some units in the use of combustible gas alarm is not the use of the corresponding concentration of standard gas detection, instead, the direct use of gas for detection or gas lighter for detection (this phenomenon is very common), the combustible gas alarm caused by high concentration of gas impact, light lead to reduced sensor life or sensitivity, heavy lead to direct damage to the sensor.
4. Sensor life issues
In summary, these are some of the reasons that may cause errors in the detection results of combustible gas alarms. Of course, because there are many reasons for the error of combustible gas alarm detection results, we should also check, find the reasons and solve them according to the actual situation. If you want the combustible gas alarm to maintain good use, it is recommended to choose a well-known gas detector manufacturer like Yiyuntian, with low failure rate and more guaranteed quality.
