Replacement MX6 Sensor for Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN). Range 0 to 30ppm, Resolution 0.1ppm. Response time 25 seconds (T50)
£642.00
Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) is a highly volatile, colourless liquid below 26°C (79°F), and a colourless gas above that temperature. It has a distinctive bitter almond odour, though not everyone can detect this smell, and its presence can also cause olfactory fatigue (loss of smell) at higher concentrations. It is one of the most rapidly acting and deadly poisons known.

The table above reflects the percentage response provided by the sensor (top row) when exposed to a known concentration of the target gas (column 1).
The numbers were measured under these environmental conditions: 20 °C (68 °F), 50% RH and 1 atm.
The specified cross-interference numbers apply to new sensors only and may vary with time as well as from sensor to sensor.
“-” means no data available.
