Frequently asked questions

All FAQs & Knowledge Base 

A. An in-line hydrogen analyzer is placed directly in the process stream, where it measures hydrogen concentration continuously at the point that matters for control and safety.

A. In-line hydrogen sensors accurately measure hydrogen concentration in a process flow, and area sensors detect hydrogen leaks and accumulation to keep safety standards met.

A. A hydrogen leak detector measures the concentration of hydrogen in the air and triggers alarms or safety protocols when hydrogen is detected. It is designed to be accurate at low concentrations, since the default state is zero hydrogen present.

A. The most reliable way is to install online hydrogen sensors near likely leak points or where hydrogen accumulates. Routine inspection and portable devices are less reliable supplements.

A. Any room or container where hydrogen can accumulate or where there are potential sources of hydrogen leakage requires a hydrogen detection system.

A. Hydrogen has a low molecular weight and disperses quickly — it is the most mobile of gases — and it is colorless and odorless, so it requires specialized detection equipment.
