General Description:

The NAP-55A Gas Sensor is a low–cost Catalytic Flammable Gas Sensor designed for the detection and measurement of any Flammable Gas in the range 0-50% LEL. Developed primarily for use in Residential Natural gas and LPG Gas Detectors, the NAP-55A has also been found to be useful in a wide variety of applications where reliable detection of flammable gas leaks and other gas hazards is required at low cost.

The NAP-55A uses the superior catalytic “pellistor” detection principle often used in high quality Industrial Gas Detectors. It hence has many benefits over other low cost gas sensor types.
