IN FIELD TESTS
MIPEX-04 PPM C₃H₈ is a smart NDIR sensor for accurate propane detection in portable gas detectors. It measures low propane concentrations starting from 30 ppm up to 2.5% vol., making it ideal for early leak detection in explosive atmospheres.
Presentation in pdf
MIPEX-04 PPM is an ultra-low-power NDIR gas sensor for continuous propane (C₃H₈) monitoring in industrial environments.
It uses an LED-based infrared source and dual-wavelength technology to reduce interference from water vapor and optical contamination.
The sensor is designed for use in portable gas detectors where long battery life and reliable performance are critical.
