UV Tube Flame Sensors for Industrial Flame Detection
UV Tube Flame Sensor Series Overview
Sartec’s UV Tube Flame Sensor series is designed for reliable ultraviolet flame detection in industrial combustion safety and flame detection systems.
These sensors provide stable, solar-blind UV response and are widely used in burners, boilers, furnaces, and industrial flame monitoring applications where accurate flame presence detection is critical.
The UV Tube Flame Sensor series includes multiple models developed as direct replacements or functional equivalents to commonly used UV flame tubes from leading manufacturers such as Hamamatsu, Honeywell, and Siemens. Each model is optimized for specific installation requirements, operating environments, and system compatibility.
By offering consistent detection performance, strong immunity to background radiation, and long-term operational stability, Sartec’s UV tube flame sensors help ensure safe and continuous operation of industrial combustion systems.
