Hydrogen Sensor (P/N 20624) Operations Manual
Description
This sensor is designed to accurately measure Hydrogen through thermal conductivity
technology. It is capable of providing additional computations based on the Hydrogen
measurement, and it has multiple methods of digital and analog communications capabilities.
Features
• Measures H2 from 0 to 100% with 0.01% resolution
• Calculates NH
, DA, and Kn for nitrider applications
