Systems And Methods For Membrane Blockage Detection In Gas Detectors

Abstract: ABSTRACT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEMBRANE BLOCKAGE DETECTION IN GAS 5 DETECTORS Methods and systems for detecting membrane blockage in a gas detector are disclosed. In some embodiments, the gas detector comprises a membrane configured to define a sensing chamber of 10 the gas detector. The gas detector further comprises a strain sensor operatively connected to the membrane, the strain sensor configured for generating output signals related to strain in the membrane. The gas detector comprises a controller operatively connected to the strain sensor. The controller is configured to: determine a strain in the membrane based on the output signals; and determine a condition of the membrane based on the determined strain, wherein the determined 15 condition indicates whether the membrane is blocked.
