This product appears in the RKI Instruments Catalog
Overview
The RKI MPS (Molecular Property Spectrometer) LEL sensor identifies the combustible gas it sees and applies the right LEL factor itself, so one methane calibration reads 14 gases correctly, hydrogen included. It is immune to poisons such as H2S, silicone and HCFCs, needs only annual field response checks and works in high humidity.
- Reads 14 combustible gases on a single methane calibration, no conversion factors
- Detects hydrogen along with hydrocarbons and solvent vapours
- Immune to poisons such as H2S, silicone and HCFCs
- Requires only annual field response checks; expected sensor life over 10 years
- Works in high-humidity applications
- Compatible with RKI M2A, S2 and Direct Connect
- Explosion-proof approval C UL US
- 2-year warranty on the sensor, 1 year on electronics
A fixed MPS calibration kit (methane 50 % LEL) is available on request. Request a quote for pricing and availability.
