What Dynament does

Dynament is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of miniature Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) gas sensors, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The company's core technology exploits the absorption of infrared light at gas-specific wavelengths to detect and quantify toxic and combustible gases, including hydrocarbons (methane, propane), carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and refrigerants. Its product portfolio spans the Platinum Series (integrated optics, electronics, and firmware in a single package, including patented dual-gas methane/CO2 sensors and configurable four-tier power modes from 24mW to 420mW), the Standard Series (raw signal output for OEM-driven integration), the Axiom Series (A2L refrigerant detectors compliant with UL 60335-2-40 Annex LL), and the FGD line of fixed gas detectors (FGD3, FGD4, FGD5/6-IR, FGD10A, FGD10B, FGD14). The company holds UK, US, and European patents on its NDIR architecture and maintains certifications including ATEX, IECEx, UL, EN50271/SIL1, ISO 9001:2015, and Mining M1.

Dynament operates an OEM-embedded business model, selling sensors to gas detection equipment manufacturers who integrate them into their finished products, rather than selling directly to end users. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting customization across measurement ranges, certification levels, and power configurations. The company serves industrial safety verticals including oil & gas, underground mining, natural gas utilities, HVAC and refrigeration, biogas/renewable natural gas, greenhouse agriculture, carbon capture, and chemical processing. Distribution is handled through a global partner network comprising Scout Innovations (North America), Oriental Euro-Link (Asia-Pacific, China), Teleson B.V (Netherlands/Europe), and Mouser Electronics, supplemented by direct technical sales support. Following DwyerOmega's November 2024 acquisition of Process Sensing Technologies, Dynament now operates as a brand within DwyerOmega's Sensors Business Unit alongside sister companies SST Sensing, Analytical Industries, and Sensore Electronic, with the company appearing to retain operational and brand independence under the parent structure.
