The Advanced Gasmitter (AGM) series uses the latest technologies in both Non-Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) and thermally conductive gas transducers for industrial applications. Both types offer high accuracy, long term stability and excellent repeatability. The flexible design platform enables easy integration for the system developer.
