A Diagnostic Case Study for Manufacturing Gas-Phase Chemical Sensors.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we describe the design, manufacturing development and refinement of a chemical detection platform designed to identify specific odorants in the natural gas industry. As the demand for reliable and sensitive volatile organic compound (VOC) detection systems grows, our project aimed to construct multiple prototypes to enhance detection capabilities and provide portable detection platforms. Throughout the development process across nominally identical and duplicate instruments, various failure modes were encountered, which provided insight into the design and manufacturing challenges present when designing such platforms. We conducted a post-hoc root cause analysis for each failure mode, leading to a series of design modifications and solutions. This paper details these design a
