Three sensors, three datasheets, each claiming "high accuracy". On paper, the specifications look similar. In the plant, the sensors behave differently. This rarely means a manufacturer has provided incorrect figures. It means the same parameter can be defined in different ways, with the reference conditions hidden in the small print. Comparing datasheets without checking these references means comparing figures that do not mean the same thing.

Gase lassen sich weder sehen noch in vielen Fällen unmittelbar wahrnehmen. Trotzdem beeinflussen sie industrielle Prozesse, die Produktqualität, die Energieeffizienz und die Sicherheit von Menschen und Anlagen. Um Gaskonzentrationen zuverlässig zu bestimmen, werden deshalb unterschiedliche Sensortechnologien eingesetzt.

Coffee has become a craft. Micro-roasteries, single-origin beans, direct trade and precise roast profiles have transformed a mass-market product into a technically sophisticated business. Origin, aroma and process control are scrutinized closely. What is often less visible is that roasting, degassing and storing coffee can release gases that create a real safety risk in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

Hazardous gases rarely announce themselves in time. Many are colorless and odorless, and some are flammable, toxic or critical to the process. This makes them especially dangerous in industrial plants, because the risk can build up long before people notice anything.

smartGAS presents: TCDM & GD TCD – the latest generation of thermal conductivity detectors

The energy transition requires precise measurement technology. With our new thermal conductivity detectors, we are setting new standards in gas analysis – especially for the growing hydrogen economy.
