A U.K.-based industrial gases company that supplies liquefied natural gas process technology and equipment to heat treaters and companies with heat treating operations recently introduced its new gas density sensor at POWDERMET 2018, the International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials, held June 17-20 in San Antonio, Texas.
Air Products announced that this novel sensor has been designed to measure hydrogen concentration in sintering furnaces that use a nitrogen-hydrogen blend as the hot zone atmosphere, aiding metals processors in improving quality control and comply with regulatory requirements. As part of the conference’s Sintering Atmosphere Control technical session, Air Products’ Dr. Liang He presented “Hot Zone Nitrogen-Hydrogen Atmosphere Monitoring with Gas Density Sensor”, which included beta test results of continuously measuring an industrial sintering furnace atmosphere composition for better production process control and consistent product quality.
