Sulfur Dioxide is a toxic gas having a burnt odor. The odor of sulfur dioxide is similar to that of nitric acid. The gas is acidic erosive and is capable to form dangerous compounds like sulfuric acid and sulfate pollutants by reacting with atmospheric compounds. The sources that release sulfur dioxide in nature are fossil fuel burning, power plants, metal extraction, volcanoes, industrial facilities, different vehicular emissions, refining and extraction of oil, and diesel engines. However, the push toward BSVI engines by Indian Government has made a significant impact.
Why To Choose Prana Air SO2 Sensor?
Compact
The compact size of the sensor enables it to be installed into any kind of setting, big or small, allowing it to be versatile in handheld as well as stationary devices.

Individual Calibrated
Sulfur Dioxide sensors are calibrated for every device before integration for providing accurate observation.
RoHS Compliant
Our sensors are in sync with the guidelines set by the RoHS for the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
What technology is being used in SO2 Sensor?
Prana Air provides the best in class air quality monitoring solutions providing accurate observations. Our monitors use an electrochemical sensor for so2 monitoring which is the most sought after monitoring among different monitoring processes. Our SO2 sensor works on the principle of the electrochemical gas sensing technique. These sensors are amperometric fuel cells designed to quantify the concentration of a gaseous toxin.
The technique involves three components out of which two are electrodes (working and counter) and the other is an ion conductor. The ion conductor is the bridge for electrodes. When SO2 passes through the sensor a current is generated between the electrodes due to oxidation and reduction reaction. The current generated is directly proportional to the concentration of SO2 present.
SO2 Sensor Calibration
Calibration of so2 sensor is comparing the standard measurement with your device’s measurement. To calibrate the sensor, 23 + 3oC temperature, 50 + 15% relative humidity, 0.9-1.1atm pressure and air velocity of 0.05m/s were used as standard environmental conditions. The accuracy and traceability of measurement are also determined by calibration. For calibration, the NIST standard of gas cylinder is used for reference.
