What are the Key Performance Metrics for Gas Sensors?
When evaluating gas sensors, several performance metrics are crucial:
- Sensitivity: The ability of the sensor to detect low concentrations of the target gas. - Selectivity: The capability of the sensor to distinguish between different gases. - Response Time: The time taken for the sensor to provide a stable reading after exposure to the target gas. - Stability: Consistency in the sensor’s performance over time. - Operating Temperature: The temperature range within which the sensor can operate effectively.
