Product Description
Product Overview
The VQ21 is an improved, poison-resistant combustible gas detector element designed for the detection of combustible gases, particularly methane in air mixtures from 0.1% upwards. It offers no interference from water vapour or carbon dioxide and is suitable for use in atmospheres where traces of silicone and other poisoning agents may be present. When used with the recommended bridge circuit and mounting arrangement, it achieves a minimum sensitivity of 10 mV/% methane. The VQ21 is designed for continuous operation and can detect methane concentrations up to 5% with a fast response time.Product Attributes
