MIPEX is a leading manufacturer of optical IR (NDIR) gas sensors for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) producing gas analysis equipment intended for collective and individual safety. Our goal is to make our sensors immune to nearly every known type of environmental stress: pressure, vibration, chemical poisoning, moisture and many other contributing factors.

Safety is a core value at MIPEX, and as a result, our products have earned a reputation for their remarkable reliability, accuracy of measurement and durability, which is the direct result of rigorous lab and field testing preceding the release of any sensor to the market.

In alignment with our safety culture, our success on the market can be largely attributed to our established, fine-tuned processes and production procedures. With scrupulous quality assurance applied to each manufacturing milestone, we are completely confident in the utmost quality of every unit leaving our conveyor. And yet our success as a company is not measured in the number of units we produce per year, but rather by the scale and significance of challenges we are able to solve through our work and our products. We are proud to drive innovation and offer truly disruptive technologies capable of changing the landscapes of entire markets.

Product Information

The MIPEX-05 ultra-low power infrared gas sensor has LED based differential dual wavelength technology that allows for the elimination of water vapor, optical elements contamination and other non-selective hindrances influence. It is intended for automatic continuous measurement of the concentration of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of hazardous areas. The sensor is used as an OEM component for portable fixed gas detectors for industrial safety. The sensor’s operating principle is based on NDIR technology, that is on selective absorption of infrared radiation by gas molecules.

Features:

Ultra-low power consumption. Average current consumption at constant measurement of concentration is less than 60 μA. (microAmp)
Smart sensor with embedded microcontroller returns linearized, temperature-compensated output data.
LED based dual wavelength technology.
Response time (T90) without dust filter 10 sec for methane, propane, ethane.
Provides intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia”.
Industry standard size (⌀20.3×16.6 mm).

Measurement range

up to 100% vol. for methane (CH4)
up to 20% vol. for propane (C3H8)
