Crouse-Hinds series MTL K1550 gas analysers accurately measure the percentage levels of one gas in a binary or pseudo-binary mixture.Ê
Examples include hydrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium and various halogenated hydrocarbons such as Freons. Almost any single constituent of a gas mixture can be measured, providing its thermal conductivity differs from that of the other components. Ranges from high ppm to 100% are possible, depending on the gas being measured.
A katharometer sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the gas. The sensor incorporates a highly sensitive, non-depleting element of low thermal capacity, which requires no maintenance. Signal processing and temperature compensation are provided by a microprocessor to give a level of accuracy and a range not normally associated with this type of sensor. Little or no calibration is required because of the systemÕs inherent high stability.
