System Requirements

  • Windows XP SP2 or newer
  • Microsoft .Net 3.5 Runtime Libraries

Tube cap adapters easily convert 20mm standard gas sensors from diffusion to sampling sensors. Molded polymer. Tube cap adapters are not pre-installed. For accurate results you must mount the tube cap permanently.

Micro-Pump Kit includes all the tools you need to urilize the tube-cap adapters as part of a sampling sensor system.

Nafion tubing is a highly selective, semi-permeable membrane to water vapor. If gases inside Nafion tubing are wetter than gases surrounding the tubing, drying will occur. If the surrounding gases are wetter, humidification will occur.

Micro gas sampling pumps provide a constant flow of air across the sensor with a tube cap - perfect for bench-top testing of sensors for closed-loop sampling applications.

Sensor Pin Sockets - Manufacturers do not recommend soldering to the pins. Pin sockets can be purchased from Andon Electric. Click here to see the PDF of all Cubic sensors pin sockets available.

New to methane.

Your site is easy to use and I ordered 6 SJH-5’s for R&D. We are putting together six Avimesa “climate” kit prototypes. Our system ( http://avimesa.com) provides cloud connectivity for virtually any sensor of any type and combines it with alert and notification rules. Our system is unique because it also provides other feeds such as climate conditions, or simply another sensor type, that can be added to the rules logic. Methane is the first gas sensor that we are adding and are not sure if the SJH-5 was the right choice but wanted to get started on the integration quickly as we have an Oil&Gas customer that wants to try it out on some abandoned wells.

"Swift response and shipment. The product is easy to setup and use. It is just what I was looking for."
