Introduction
Dynament is a UK based company that specialises in the design and development of miniature infrared gas sensors for industrial, hygiene and medical applications.
The sensors use the well established non dispersive infrared (NDIR) technique to monitor the presence of gases and vapours via their infrared spectral signature.
• The
versions currently available comprise:- Hazardous
area certified infrared gas sensors for the
full range of Hydrocarbon gases
(including Methane), Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous
Oxide.
• Non-certified infrared gas sensors for
use in separately certified explosion protected
housings and non-certified applications, for
the full range of Hydrocarbon gases
(including Methane), Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous
Oxide.
Sensor Types
Premier infrared gas sensors contain all the necessary optics, electronics and firmware to provide a linearized, temperature compensated output. These sensors provide equipment designers with a fast track route to introduce the latest infrared technology for detection of Hydrocarbon and Carbon Dioxide gases without the requirement for any specialist knowledge.
Further information......
Standard infrared gas sensors provide a 'raw' signal ouput to be be fed into external processing electonics and software provided either by the equipment manuafcturer or via an OEM board available from Dynament Ltd. Standard infrared sensors are available for the detection of either Hydrocarbon, Carbon Dioxide or Nitrous Oxide.

Packaging
The sensors are packaged in industry-standard gas sensor sizes with standard pin-out configurations. This makes them ideal for use by Original Equipment Manufacturers in Portable and Fixed gas monitoring instrumentation, and they are supplied exclusively to such companies.
Flammable Gases
Dynament infrared Hydrocarbon sensors can be used to detect a wide range of flammable gases - here are some of the most common types :-
| Acetic Acid | Methane |
| Butane | Methanol |
| Ethane | Methyl Bromide |
| Ethanol | Pentane |
| Ethylene | Propane |
| Ethylene Oxide | Propylene |
| Hexane | Toluene |
| Isopropanol |
