Combustible gas detectors, commonly required as Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in most industrial worker settings measure the concentration of potentially harmful gases in a specific area. They may use infrared, electrochemical, ultrasonic, or semiconductor sensors as their core detection technology. The detectors, via the embedded sensor, measure the gas concentration to a reference point or
