Cyclohexanone is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, reminiscent of that of acetone. It is less dense than water, lightly soluble in water and miscible with common organic solvents.

Cyclohexanone is an important industrial chemical as it is a chemical intermediate used in the production of specific target molecules. In fact, the consumption of cyclohexanone is linked almost entirely to the nylon industry with derivatives of it used to produce adipic acid and caprolactam, which are precursors for nylon 6.

Flash point 111°F. Vapors heavier than air.

Cyclohexanone gas sensor transmitter or detector is high accuracy, reliable, performance oriented, robust, industrial grade, flameproof or explosion proof instrument for LEL concentration detection. The instrument can be installed for flammability level or LEL detection of cyclohexanone concentration or leakage in all industrial and commercial area eg. chemical plant, solvent manufacturing unit, polymer industry, manufacturing plants, warehouse etc

The detector can be installed at walls, surfaces or in ducts for monitoring in gas or air sample. It is ATEX EEx’d’ certified with SIL 2 safety integrity level for hazardous area installation Zone 1 and 2.

The sensor transmitter offers linear, proportional analog output in industry standard current signals, over measuring range of 0 ~ 100% LEL (lower explosive limit). The detector works on highly sensitive catalytic bead based pellistor sensor cell, with low response time. It has unique feature of auto diagnostic watch dog with zero point tracking feature. Due to its 10-bit microprocessor based control unit, it offer high accuracy over long term. The detector is also equipped with sintered filter with flashback arrestor for enhanced safety.
