Existing reviews of Portable Hydrogen (H2) Gas Detector, 0 to 500/1000/2000 ppm
I have a few questions regarding the hydrogen detectors we are using in our lab and would appreciate your advice.
Can these detectors be utilized as inline hydrogen meters? Specifically, is it possible to connect them to an exhaust gas line to measure the concentration of hydrogen in the exhaust gas, assuming that the hydrogen levels are low and within the detectable range of the device? What is the maximum continuous operating time for these detectors? I assume the fixed detector can operate 24/7, but could you confirm if this is correct? Additionally, what are the other implications of choosing a higher or lower maximum detectable range?

1. If you want to connect to the exhaust gas line, make sure the working environment of the exhaust gas line is:
1) The working pressure is a stable 1Bar, and the flow rate is controlled to a stable 500ml/min.
2) The working temperature is -20°C~+50°C
3) The working humidity is <60%RH
4) There is no CO gas
2. You bought a portable gas detector. After fully charged, it can work continuously for 12 hours. If you want to work 24/7, please buy the fixed version.
3. If the range of the product you have purchased is 0-1000ppm, then the maximum measurement can only be 1000ppm. If you use it beyond the range, the instrument will be damaged. If the instrument is damaged due to over-range use, the warranty will be void.
I believe the detector is working perfectly with no more than a 10% error. Kindly suggest some precautions to avoid the damage of the detector, if any.

There are some precautions when using it:
1. The working pressure is stable at 1Bar±10%, and the flow rate is controlled at 450~700ml/min.
2. The working temperature is -20°C~+50°C.
3. The working humidity range is below 60% relative humidity (RH). If the humidity exceeds 60% RH, it is advisable to employ a dehumidifier.
Is It Capable of Soil Gas Measurements?
Hello,
I want to do soil gas field measurements and I'm looking for a portable gas detector, which tells me the exact amount of gases present at certain depth up to between 60 cm and 1m. Is your product able to manage these field conditions for these types of measurements and is it included with a probe that can be attached to the end of the flexible tube or there is no probe needed at all?
Thank you in advance!

Our detector has a metal probe accessory, but it cannot be inserted directly into the soil as the soil will block the air inlet, making it impossible to measure. It is recommended to try the following:
1. Fill a sampling bag with some soil and insert the instrument into the bag to detect the gas;
2. Drilling enough holes in the body of a piece of water pipe or a long enough sampling tube and burying it in the soil to become a deep tube with many holes for sampling, and then sticking the metal probe into the tube to measure the gas.

CO and H2 interfere with each other. If CO increases in the measurement environment, the measurement reading will also increase.
I'm a bit unclear with my question
Great to hear this device can function in an oxygen background. This device states it has a built-in micro-sampling pump with "10 grades of suction available". Can you provide any further detail on what those different grades mean?

Choosing the Right Portable Hydrogen (H2) Gas Detector
Hello,
I want to use the detector in a laboratory-scale application. In a small closed system producing approximately 1-10 mmol of H2 per hour, which portable gas detector should I prefer for hydrogen production? I want a simpler way to determine the concentration rather than using a gas chromatography system with a TCD detector. Thank you.

You need to calculate the total amount of H2 released, for example, if you have produced H2 for 1 hour, then you can use 0~10000ppm specification H2 detector (10mmol=10000ppm). If you have accumulated H2 for 4 hours, you need 0~40000ppm specification detector. In addition you have to tell us the temperature and humidity of your testing environment, other information you need to know, please contact us before sales.
Portable Hydrogen (H2) Gas Detector
I see in the data sheet that recovery time is < 10 s. Does this mean that the device analyzes /- every 10 seconds?
Are temperatures lower than the indicated of -20oC detrimental for the device? We intend to measure around -35oC.
We want to measure process streams. To me it’s not fully clear what and how the inlet of the device works. Could you please elaborate? Like, can we attach BSP connections to it? Additionally, where is the outlet valve?

1. No. Recovery time refers to the time it takes for the instrument to return to zero after measuring hydrogen.
2. The temperature of -35°C is Not acceptable. Our instrument can only withstand -20°C at the lowest.
3. The inlet of the device is the air inlet. The instrument has a built-in pump to pump the gas in for detection.
What is the principle of measurement?
What is the principle of measurement? We’ve already been in touch with several manufacturers but most of them indicate that measuring in this range with TCD is rather difficult and generally unreliable.
In what gases and gas compositions can the device operate? We intend to measure in a stream what primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide, but also contains smaller fractions of nitrogen and oxygen. As far as my knowledge goes, it does not contain any carbon monoxide.

Questions on how your sensor functions
I am trying to determine how the measured H2 concentration in ppm correlates to volume of gas present in the measured sample and environment measured. Thus, I have a couple questions on how your sensor functions.
Do you have information on gas flow rates at different pump speeds in order to calculate the volume of gas being analyzed over time?
Do you have H2 on/off rates for the sensor? By this I mean how long does it take the sensor to register H2 presence and how long does it take for the sensor to reset.
Do you have any reference literature that would help understand the sensor capabilities?

After a portable detector is fully charged, it can only be used for about 10 hours. We recommend that you charge the battery first, and then turn on the battery while charging when the battery has a certain amount of power (but you can’t use it like this frequently, otherwise the battery may be damaged). If you want continuous monitoring for a long time, we recommend you to buy a fixed gas detector, which can monitor continuously for 24 hours

What is the difference between the three measuring ranges?
I wanted to know what is the difference between the measurement ranges 0-40,000 PPM, 0-4% volume and 0-100% LEL. Aren't these three ranges the same? For my application I need sensor to operate in air as a warning safety sensor. Which would be the correct range selection? Does the 0-100% LEL display a percentage value range from 0% to 100% on the screen?

1. 0-40000ppm, the display unit is ppm, and the maximum display is 40000ppm; 0-4%VOL, the display unit is %VOL, and the maximum display is 4%VOL; 0-100%LEL, the display unit is %LEL, and the maximum display is 100%LEL.
2. 0-40000ppm and 0-4%VOL versions use electrochemical sensors; 0-100%LEL versions use catalytic combustion sensors.

Can you tell me what the accuracy and repeatability for H₂ Gas Detector?
We got a Hydrogen detector in 0-40,000ppm range.
Can you tell me what the accuracy and repeatability for this unit is? Also, If we were wanting to use it to detect around 27,500ppm, how many calibration points should we have and at what concentrations?
Also, is the calibration gas that used hydrogen mixed in air?

What is your order number?
1. The accuracy of the detector is about 3% F.S, and the repeatability is 1%.
2. One calibration point is enough. If you want to measure 27500ppm, you can use calibration gas between 25000-30000ppm for calibration.
3. Yes, hydrogen in air is mixed, because the presence of oxygen is required to measure hydrogen.
2 issues with portable hydrogen gas detector
The first issue is that I am using a 400 ppm gas standard to do my set point calibration, the highest H2 level the meter detects varies form 46 ppm to 57 ppm. The concentration the meter detect is much lower then the one in my gas standard. The second issue I am having is that the manual SET VALUE does not allow me to go passed 166 ppm.

1. Please confirm whether the unit of the meter is ppm or mg/m3. If it is mg/m3, it cannot be calibrated, and the unit must be set to ppm.
2. If the unit of meter is ppm, please change it to 400ppm.
We bought this portable detector to ensure the safety of our laboratory experiments with hydrogen gas. The detector becomes useful for examining the connections for potential leakage. So far, I can say that it is fairly straightforward to handle and operate. Also, shipping to Canada was fast.

Two questions about this H2 gas detetor
Is there any gas that can interfere with Hydrogen detection? My expectation is that there is only H2 in the stream with probably some moisture and a minor amount of HI (vapor phase). Another question is: Do you have an oxygen detector that can measure the concentration of O2 (oxygen gas) in a stream composed from Nitrogen and a minor amount of water vapor?

Unfortunately, the concentration of O2 is only 0.1%, which cannot be detected by our O2 detector. In addition, our H2 gas detector can only detect up to 4% H2, and 90% concentration has exceeded the measuring range of the detector.

Replace hydrogen detectors
Is it possible to return these units in exchange for some 0-100% LEL units. I would be willing to return the 2 0-500 ppm units ($876.93/ea) for 4 of the 0-100% LEL units (423.08/ea). The only this I have done with the units I received is to charge them.
If these 4 units work well in my applications, I will likely be purchasing 4 more.
Thanks for the update. In fact, these three ranges 0-100%LEL, 0-500ppm and 0-1000ppm can all measure H2 leakage.

In the application environment with people, we generally recommend choosing 0-500ppm or 0-1000ppm; In the application environment without people, we recommend choosing the 0-100% LEL range. Therefore, the 0-500ppm you are currently using can also be used normally and does not need to be replaced. You could check whether the reading actually measured by this H2 gas detector is normal.

Highly sensitive H2 gas detector
The sensitivity of this detector is higher than I imagined. As long as a little gas leaks out, it can be detected immediately. We have bought more than 10 units. Our gas company can use it for emergency repairs and security inspections. The point is The hydrogen gas detector is also very convenient to carry!

Hi, Gauri. You're welcome.
a) For the hydrogen gas detector, it has a built-in suction pump, so the gas inside the chamber will pass through the sensor continuously, and the gas concentration accurately appears on the display of the gas detector. At the same time, in order to avoid residues in the air chamber, the gas detector is designed with an air outlet.
b) The diameter of the air inlet is 5mm.
Hydrogen/methane detection
Hello there.
Since we only have a binary hydrogen/methane mixture and need to measure hydrogen, our thought was we could calibrate the unit using 100% methane as a zero or blank, and 100% hydrogen at the other end. The 2 gases have significantly different thermal conductivities, so as long your detector can provide accurate readings in such an environment, we can calculate the hydrogen vs. methane.

Hi, John. First of all, our Portable Hydrogen (H2) Gas Detector (0-to 100% VOL) is only suitable for measuring a single gas environment, so it does Not work in your case.
Then, we recommend using 0-100%VOL methane (CH4) detector (the lower limit of methane detection is 1%VOL), which can be used in different environments, and after the CH4 value is detected, then the remaining gas hydrogen can be calculated.

Hi, Herbert. We do not recommend operating the portable hydrogen detector while it is being charged, because it may cause unstable measurement. And our gas detector can generally be used for 20-30 hours after being fully charged.
If you want to monitor the gas continuously for a long time (more than 24 hours), we recommend using the fixed gas detector.
