3M-MicromeGas testing

Here is a description of the testing procedures

  • First the number of sparks versus the applied voltage is measured.
    • Results for sets 101 to 110
    • Results for sets 111 to 120 Not yet available.
  • Second the device is left for a certain amount of time (default one hour but sometimes more) and the number of sparks per minute is measured versus the total number of minutes at 600 V.
    • Results for sets 101 to 110
    • Results for sets 111 to 120 Not yet available.
