Gastec FG-3AL Flammable Gas Sensor

The Gastec FG-3AL Flammable Gas Sensor is a high-performance industrial component designed for the precise detection of combustible gases. Utilizing proven catalytic combustion technology, this sensor provides critical data for safety systems, helping to prevent fire and explosion hazards in industrial environments.

Description

Gastec FG-3AL Flammable Gas Sensor operates through a sophisticated catalytic combustion sensing method. This technique involves a specially treated coil that reacts when it comes into contact with flammable gases, causing a change in electrical resistance that is proportional to the gas concentration. This ensures that even small leaks of combustible substances are identified long before they reach lower explosive limits (LEL).

As a part of the Gastec MA-0510 series, the FG-3AL is built to meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation and safety systems. Its standout feature is its efficiency in a small package, allowing it to be installed in space-constrained gas detectors or monitoring panels without sacrificing sensitivity or response speed. The catalytic element is designed for long-term stability, reducing the frequency of recalibration and ensuring that safety protocols remain active and dependable.
