Cross references
Cross references
Electrochemical sensors are manufactured as specific sensors for one gas, for all that there exist some cross sensitivities to other gases. Generally these cross references are not a problem in gas detection in the area of safety, but they can be a complication in the process detection - they can cause false alarms. This page includes links to cross reference data of the electrochemical sensors.
