Sensor Showdown: Battle of the 4-Gas Titans
Instructor: Chris Pfaff
Time: 8:00am - 10:00am
Location: Hilton Garden Inn Conference Center
Room:
This interactive presentation takes many current air monitors on the market and places them head-to-head in a full competition of capabilities, cross sensitivities, and user ease. Attendees of this battle royale will learn the basics of traditional four-gas monitor through an introduction to their four core sensors and various LEL technologies. It continues with an interactive segment featuring multiple brands–all placed in a single clear box for real-time comparisons (inspired by The Meter Guys). Five sets of monitors allow participants to observe, record readings, and see in real time how they perform when presented with challenge gases, while controlling flow via manifold regulators. Next comes an interactive exploration of the four LEL sensor types–Pellistor, NDIR, MPS, and MOX–in dedicated boxes, analyzing response times, interferences, and performance.
