NCH-180

ATEX & IEC Certified Explosion Proof Flammable Gas Detection Head

General Description:

The Nemoto NCH-180 is a new low cost catalytic flammable gas sensor fitted within a certified Flameproof enclosure.

Using the popular NAP-56A sensor, the NCH-180 offers the excellent detection performance, stability and long life you may expect from a Nemoto Pellistor Gas Sensor, but may also be used in hazardous locations when coupled with a suitable certified Flameproof Junction Box.

The NCH-180 is remarkably compact compared with other similar Ex certified devices, with the sensor contained within the same barrel as the mounting thread, resulting in a very ergonomically elegant design, mounting flush to the junction box wall.
