Product Overview
The VQ10 Combustible Gas Detector Elements are designed for the detection of combustible gases, particularly methane in air mixtures, with concentrations starting from 0.1%. These matched elements offer low power consumption, making them ideal for battery-operated systems. They are unaffected by water vapor or carbon dioxide and provide a minimum sensitivity of 15 mV/% methane when used with the recommended bridge circuit. The detector elements are suitable for operation under direct flow or diffusion conditions and are built to withstand significant shock and vibration.
