Product type
A flame sensor is a device that detects the presence of flames or fire by sensing infrared or ultraviolet radiation emitted by flames. These sensors are typically made from materials that are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light, allowing them to quickly identify the presence of fire. Flame sensors are commonly used in industrial applications to ensure safety and prevent fire hazards in environments such as manufacturing plants, oil and gas facilities, and power generation stations.
| Detection method | Infrared or ultraviolet |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to 85°C |
| Response time | Less than 1 second |
| Power supply | 12V to 24V DC |
| Output type | Analog or digital |
When selecting a flame sensor, consider the type of detection method that best suits your application, whether infrared or ultraviolet. It's important to specify the required operating temperature range and response time based on your operational environment. Additionally, check for compatibility with your existing systems, including the power supply and output type. Certifications for safety standards may also be necessary depending on your industry requirements.

Infrared sensors detect heat emitted by flames, while ultraviolet sensors detect the specific wavelengths of light produced by flames.
Installation typically involves mounting the sensor in a location where it has a clear line of sight to potential fire sources and connecting it to a power supply.
Regular testing and cleaning of the sensor are recommended to ensure proper functionality and to remove any obstructions that may block detection.
Yes, but ensure that the sensor is rated for outdoor use and protected from environmental elements.
Flame sensors are widely used in manufacturing, oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, and aerospace industries.
Most flame sensors are designed to detect flames of varying sizes, but their effectiveness can depend on the sensor type and environmental conditions.
