The Series 9000 TCA has a dynamic range from less than 0.1 ppm to 100 ppm, it's designed to measure total hydrocarbon content and provide a combined carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) reading. The analyzer has a generous complement of analog, digital and logic output capabilities.
The analyzer is based on a flame ionization detector (FID) with FlowGuard electronic control that delivers a small portion of the sample gas to the detector flame. During the combustion process, organic or hydrocarbon-based gases in the sample are ionized then they can be detected by the instrument and reported as a concentration.
The Series 9000 TCA can be configured with internal components for single or multipoint analysis of non-condensing gas samples. The automatic calibration feature enhances the long-term analytical stability of the instrument. These features place the instrument well ahead of the competition in performance, automation, and configurability.
Applications
N/A The Series 9000 TCA is designed to continuously monitor total hydrocarbons and trace levels of CO/CO2 in order to provide a total carbon reading. This specialized analyzer is configured for the detection of hydrocarbon and CO/CO2 impurities in pure and ultrapure inert gases such as argon, helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Samples must be free of oxygen. |
