  • Page 4: Method Of Measurement

    METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: ELECTROCHEMICAL HYDROGEN SULFIDE SENSORS The MODEL 3010BX utilizes an electrochemical sensor with a strong sensitivity to trace levels of hydrogen sulfide. AMI offers customers two sensor options, based on the needs of their applications. One option can measure trace hydrogen sulfide levels to as high as 200 ppm, while the other option increases the measurement range to 2000 ppm.
