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 highly advanced MIPEX-14 portable gas sensor has an LED based dual beam and dual wavelength technology. The operating principle of the sensor is based on NDIR technology, that is, on selective absorption of LED produced infrared radiation by gas molecules.

It is intended for fixed and portable no-maintenance gas detectors for industrial safety with automatic continuous measurement of the concentration of hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of hazardous areas. It has a differential dual beam and dual wavelength method that allows for compensation of aging parts, optical element impurity and other non-selective hindrances, which provides an extremely high stability of operation.

Features:

Target application: fixed and portable no-maintenance gas detectors for industrial safety.
Allows designing battery operated gas detector lasting no less than 12 months without charge.
Average operating current is less than 150 microAmps.
Smart sensor with embedded microcontroller returns linearized, temperature-compensated output data.
LED based dual beam / dual wavelength technology.
Provides intrinsically safe explosion protection level “ia” which does not need metal-ceramic filters.

Measurement range

Detectivity from:

50 ppm for methane (CH4)
20 ppm for propane (C3H8)

Detectivity to:

100% vol. for methane (CH4)
2.5% vol. for propane (C3H8)
