TIPS

BSM3 / HYDROGEN

Know when hydrogen leaks at the fitting.

BSM3 detects hydrogen at flanges and fittings and sends an alarm to your controller.

TESTED IN THE LAB

Exposed to 100% H₂. Still responding.

Sensor response time (t90) · Median of 8 BSM3 modules

2 s100% H₂
5 s10% H₂
25 s1% H₂
Tested in this order

All 8 modules responded normally at 10% and 1% H₂ after exposure to 100% H₂.

1% H₂ = 25% of the lower flammable limit.

Measured by TIPS at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) laboratories, Taiwan.

FIELD TRIAL

Tested on site in Taiwan

  • Taiwan
  • Hydrogen cylinder supply site
  • Routine hydrogen release events detected

At a leaking fitting, local hydrogen concentration can be far higher than in open air. BSM3 is tested up to 100% H₂.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Turn the alarm into action.

BSM3

Detects hydrogen

GPIO alarm

Your controller can:

  • Close the gas valve
  • Activate ventilation
  • Notify operators
  • Stop the process

BSM3 provides the alarm. Your controller determines the response.

WORK WITH TIPS

From your setup to on-site evaluation.

  1. Share your setup

    Tell us about your equipment, potential leak points and the challenge you want to solve.

  2. Review the fit

    Sensing location, enclosure, indoor or outdoor use, and controller input.

  3. Evaluate on site

    Evaluate detection and the controller response in your actual setup.
